To promote Prada's latest fragrance, Candy de L'Eau, Directors Wes Andersen and Roman Coppola have created a real tale told in three online episodes starring Léa Seydoux.
The short film is available as one complete video, but I want you to see it as it was intended (the three separate versions have since been removed from you tube, so I will have to show it to you as one complete short film now).
Strikingly similar to Truffaut's Jules and Jim, the three and a half minute short film tells the story of a starlet caught between the affections of two young men, while plugging the new fragrance at the end of each episode.
Behind the Scenes:
Actress Lea Seydoux appears in the print ads and in the promotional pieces for the fragrance (shown below) as well as in the film.
The new fragrance is a trinity of white musks, benzoin and caramel, heightened by notes of citrus and oriental florals.
