Mid-Week Inspiration: Chanel's Train de Nuit

The new advertisement/mini film for Chanel No. 5, titled Train de Nuit, has been released and it's beautiful. Starring Audrey Tautou as the new face for the perfume, and directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet the film takes us for a ride on an Orient Express over night train from Paris to Istanbul. The train conjures up past images but the setting is 2009. Simply dressed, Audrey is beautiful, but I wish that the clothing was as mysterious as the film. It is Chanel, afterall! But I suppose the point is more the allure of the wonderful scent of Chanel No. 5 and the film is still a wonderful inspiration. Like most French films, emotions are relayed without words and this two and half minute film is no exception. Audrey Tautou and Jean-Pierre Jeunet have reunited since filming Amelie to create this and there are some great interviews and behind the scenes footage to be seen as well.
