chanel latest commercial.

director Jean-Pierre Jeunet says:
»I’ve always loved night trains and their magic: its the perfect opportunity to create an encounter in suspended time. I really liked the idea of a woman meeting a man. They both think about each other, but continue on with their own lives, left with the regret that they didnt make contact with the other person. I love to play with destiny and coincidences… I knew that the story would revolve around the mesmerizing effect of the scent in the womans wake. We had to give voice to the intangible.«

lovely. kinda have tht harry potter magical color approach. *thumbs up* i like, but not so sure about the choice of actor/model. seeing him kinda put me to the britney spears ‘curious’ perfume commercial. esp when it cuts to their head leaning back to back seperated by the wall. tht kinda cuts off the chanel-ness for me…the rest of the story is just blah even though the director put in Leica in the shot. what a beauty tht Leica is…*uff*

my comments:
audrey is a great actress, but i don’t think her character pops when it’s in such silent commercial. she’s stronger with dialogue. in this commercial just doesn’t work on me. as for the guy, really a wrong model, even the style seems wrong for him. he look ‘cheesy’. who will i cast if i get the chance to create this? let me do some research and be back with a list. fair enough?

PS: absolutely LOVE billie holiday for the sound/music. *perfect*
