Audrey Tautou, the French actress who starred in Am茅lie and The Da Vinci Code, plays Coco Chanel in her new film, Coco Before Chanel. It tells the story of how she overcame a difficult upbringing to start her own fashion business. She says talk of an Oscar for her role in the film is "funny" and that she's not very fashion savvy herself.
