The film, which took three months to complete, looks (and feels) like it’s from a distant, luxurious era.I love the ad, it's the typical caramel tint cinematography of Jeunet movies - just beautiful to look at. There is a long version and a short version, very dreamy.
I hate how a lot perfume commercials feature stupid, meaningless statements by beautiful women, I like how this is silent and just lets the song and images do the talking. I also liked the video of Tautou explaining why she did the commercial - this apparently her firs advert. "I always refused to do ads, and to be the face of perfume until now. Because, first I wanted to focus on my acting career, and I needed real sincerity in my 'yes.'"
As a capitalists I don't care if actors promote a product, as a film fan I hate seeing movie stars in ads, because it makes me associate them with the product and makes it that much harder to forget that watching a character on screen not Brad Pitt who peddles Swatches to the general public. This commercial feels less like a commercial and more like a luxurious mini-movie - so it's quite a happy medium between my two sides. Also, I agree with Tautou - Chanel No. 5 is an exceptional perfume.
I also agree that "For a woman, putting on perfume is the height of femininity." In fact there are many times in the day I forget that I'm a woman, little things like perfume remind me to take a revel in the fact, enjoy it. I have been trying to find a signature scent for a while and am dying to try these perfumes. I think my favorite perfume is Diorissimo, but I haven't seen lately and it's too much of splurge to buy it right now. However, I very much like to have a signature scent of my own. It's a huge compliment when someone leans over and tells you smell great.
