Behind the scenes: Chanel No.5 movie

We're not sure how much more Chanel fever we can take. Last night we met Audrey Tautou again as she jetted into London for a second special screening of Coco Avant Chanel (still beautiful, still amazing, incidentally). And this morning, as if anticipating our Chanel comedown, a video going behind the scenes of the Chanel No. 5 campaign mini-movie came on to our radar. Shot by Amélie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, it tells the story of a handsome stranger captivated by Audrey's scent, when the two meet by chance en route from Paris to Istanbul aboard the Orient Express. The full two-minute 25-second film doesn't hit the Chanel website until 5 May but until then you can lust after model Travis Davenport, wish you could somehow be transformed into Audrey Tautou and find out why the director suggested the French actress for the role.
