The city of romance...
One of my favorite French movies is Amelie who is played by Audrey Tatou. Her character might be regarded as eccentric by some but I'm quite sure there is a bit of Amelie in all of us. We all at some point in our lives throw stones to watch them skim across the water or pick up our spoons to crack the top of creme brulee. And I've always wanted to guide a blind man across the road, though I've never been brave enough to try.
A scene from Amelie
I've watched a few other films by Tatou, but none of them touch my heart quite like Amelie does. So you can imagine how excited I was this morning when I read that she would collaborate once again with Jean-Pierre Jeunet (director of Amelie) to film a new commercial for Chanel (another great love of mine).
The previous commercial was directed by Baz Luhrmann featuring Nicole Kidman and is reportedly the most expensive advertisement ever. It also featured the oh-so-hot Rodrigo Santoro.
Audrey has some pretty big shoes to fill, but I have no doubt she will do so in typical Chanel style...
Oh I am looking forward to this ad! I couldn't stand the one with Nicole Kidman! altho it was very Luhrmann! "I'm a darncer, I can daynce"..ugh! haha but Audrey Tatou is so beautiful and has that French charm, can't wait! :D
