New Chanel Ad with Audrey Tatou


My favourite luxury brand + my favourite actress + my favourite director. I AM IN HEAVEN! That’s right, Chanel + Audrey Tatou + Jean Pierre Jeunet = new commercial (which I am assuming will be divine!)

Hearts fluttered when Audrey Tautou was announced as the new face of Chanel No5. By the end of this month, the Chanel website will release a teaser of the new “mini-movie” featuring the Amelie star.
The entire campaign will be available online on May 5th, with a print ad shot by Dominique Issermann, and an edited version for TV released soon after.

The new commercial, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (who also directed Tautou in Amelie and A Very Long Engagement) is set on the Orient Express as it travels between Paris and Istanbul. It tells the story of love between two strangers - posing the question of “What if?” – unveiling it to the sounds of Billie Holiday's I'm a Fool to Want You.

The ad will replace Baz Luhrmann’s overly extravagant production which ran for five years and featured a fluttering Nicole Kidman bestrewn with feathers- and cost many millions to make.
