Not to mention the funniest Scorsese film since After Hours, and the best Scorsese short film since The Big Shave.
And it’s called Bleu de Chanel. I love the paradox…an ad spot for Bleu de Chanel that has absolutely nothing to do with Bleu de Chanel…not even a wee bit.
What’s it about then? The hotshit angst and sputtering spigot of super-famous and super-wealthy Timothee Chalamet.
It’s basically Chalamet and Scorsese riffing on the kind of rapid-fire life that Leonardo DiCaprio‘s superstar brat was coping with in Woody Allen‘s Celebrity (‘98).
Best bit: Chalamet being rejected by that hot chick in the dressing room…the one who slams the door in his face.
Tom Shone, posted a day ago: “The 28-year-old Chalamet was reportedly paid $35 million to promote Bleu de Chanel — more than the salary for every film of his up to this point in his career combined, including Wonka ($8 million), Dune ($2 million) and Dune: Part Two ($3 million).
“And the ad [itself is] different. Witty, self-conscious and meta…more like [a] mini-movie.”
