Martin Scorsese to Shoot Chanel Commercial
February 18, 2010
Recently the representatives of Chanel have proudly announced an outstanding American director Martin Scorsese to become the director of the new Chanel advertising mini-film dedicated to the brand’s new fragrance for men. Martin Scorsese is one of America’s most distinguished Oscar-bearing directors famous all over the world for his works as the Taxi Driver, the Departed, Casino and Aviator.

The new Chanel commercial will star Gaspard Ulliel, a young promising French actor, who is the new face of Chanel and a new member of its family of ambassadors. The launch of the Chanel new advertising campaign is planned for September 2010.
Andrea d’Avack president of Chanel Fragrance and Beauté invoked the French notion of “supplément d’âme” (an intangible quality which literally translates as supplement of soul) to explain their constant policy to recruit great movie directors to film their perfume commercials: “Chanel has a tradition several decades long of working with the most prominent movie directors in the world. To work with Martin Scorsese, who is one of the best, if not the best movie director alive today, is a privilege Chanel has been seeking for quite some time. Chanel works with movie directors because they bring depth, emotion and what we call in French ‘a supplement of soul, or an added dimension.”
