On the Orient Express with Chanel No. 5


The famous French director Jean-Pierre Genet, who shot many famous films, including City of Lost Children and Amelie, met again with his beloved actress Audrey Tautou, who starred in Amelie on the set. This time, two darlings of French cinema worked on the creation of a commercial for the most iconic French perfumes Chanel No. 5.

The plot was based on the young heroine’s romantic journey on the Orient Express from Paris to Istanbul, her walks through the colorful oriental market and light parachute along the Bosphorus Strait, and, of course, a meeting with the romantic hero. The entire video is simply penetrated by the invisible presence of the legendary fragrance Chanel No. 5. Either the shape of the bottle, as if sweeping through the night windows of a rapidly rushing train, then the young man in love finds his girlfriend following the trail of fragrance left by her perfume ...

Jean-Pierre Genet managed to tell a whole love story in a three-minute video. Special requirements were placed on the scenery, for example, the interior of the famous Orient Express train carriage was completely recreated, and its decorative elements constantly hint to the audience about Chanel No. 5. Even the floor mosaic with the Chanel logo decorating the waiting room of the station, where our heroes are not computer graphics. So the director wanted. And his idea, embodied by the light, gentle and insanely talented Audrey Tautou, seems to be a success. It could not be otherwise, because we are talking about the spirits of Chanel No. 5, and only about them.
