Chanel no 5 - Train de Nuit

Paris, France - Chanel launched its long awaited Chanel No. 5 short film Train de Nuit, featuring Audrey Tautou. The film was directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet who previously worked with Tautou on the award-winning film Amélie. There is no dialogue at all throughout the film and the story is conveyed entirely through the actors’ powerful body language and the soulful voice of Billie Holiday. The film successfully captures the beauty and sophistication of Coco Chanel’s essence while conveying the power of scent in seduction. This film is the strongest proof yet that the luxury brands achieve a whole new level of storytelling on the Internet, leaving two-dimensional magazine advertisements in the dust.
