Pisier has a master's degree from the Paris Law School and virtually a Ph.D. in Chanelology. Says the actress, who starred in Cousin Cousine (1975) and The Other Side of Midnight (1977): "I have read every possible book on her." In Chanel Solitaire, Pisier portrays the designer from age 18 to 35, exploring her numerous love affairs with men and, as Pisier puts it, "her friendly but carnal relations with women." The film...
