Nicole Kidman for Chanel
This short film has it all: A beautiful A-list actress and handsome suitor, an engaging tale of fame, fortune and impossible love. There's just one thing — this video, while winsome, is not actually a film, but a commercial, shilling Chanel No. 5 and all its glamour. Baz Luhrmann directs his muse Nicole Kidman in this story of a celebrity trying to escape the rush of her life with a hunky commoner. In fact, this video may well be an homage to the movie Moulin Rouge as it has the same storyline, actress and talented director. The only difference is this ad is a modern love story, clothed in couture.
