Shot earlier this year, we finally have a look at Martin Scorsese’s spot for Chanel’s fragrance for men, Bleu, starring Gaspard Ulliel (“Hannibal Rising,” “Paris Je T’Aime”) and if anything, it’s miles ahead of Frank Miller’s forgettable work for Gucci.
Sexy, interesting and boasting some great cinematography, the one minute advert finds Ulliel not having to stretch his acting muscles too far, playing a young actor who recalls a love affair in the midst of a press conference for a film. Is it just us or does the final piece of dialogue feel like something out of a lost Wes Anderson screenplay?
At any rate, check out the ad for yourself below. And yes, Scorsese has once again flipped through his Rolling Stones records; the song you’re hearing is “She Said Yeah” from “December’s Children (And Everybody’s)”.[Outlier]
