Who could forget Chanel No. 5's spellbinding short film starring Nicole Kidman? The modern-day fairytale, directed by Baz Lurhmann, told the story of 'the most beautiful and the most famous woman in the world' who, for one night, escapes the trappings of her glamorous life when she meets 'the only man who didn't know who she was', played by Rodrigo Santoro. The cascading pink gown, the sparkling cityscape, the amorous strains of Debussy's Clair de Lune...every detail of the 180 second ad spelt romance.
And to celebrate Audrey Tautou's role as the new face of the fragrance, the fashion house have created another short film. 'Train de Nuit', directed by Jean Pierre Jeunet, who directed Tautou in Amelie and A Very Long Engagement. You can view the film here.
The short film anticipates Tautou's upcoming portrayal of the legendary designer, Coco Chanel in Coco Avant Chanel, directed by Anne Fontaine. The film, based on the novel L'Irreguliere: Ou, Mon Itineraire Chanel, was conceived with Tautou in mind.

Tautou told France Inter Radio:
Coco Chanel's personality was absolutely extraordinary but beyond her genius and talent she has everything that the heroine of any great novel has.
The film is released in the UK on July, 31 2009. Until then, here's the trailer:
