Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky is set in 1920s Paris and charts a passionate affair between the fashion icon and Russian émigré. The film is based on Chris Greenhalgh’s book Coco And Igor and stars Chanel model Anna Mouglalis alongside Mads Mikkelsen. The White Ribbon  is set just prior to the start of WWI, where the quiet life of a small German village is mysteriously eroded by a series of inexplicable events.
