Thank you, Coco

Even though you and I are not in Cannes and are diligently typing away, if you give yourself a four-minute break now, you’ll still be there for a moment. I’ll show you the trailer for Clouds of Sils Maria, one of the films being shown at the film festival.

Julliette Binoche is an actress of a certain age and has been asked to star in a remake of a play that meant her breakthrough twenty years ago. Only now she is not the young star, no, now she has been asked to play the role of the older lady. That is, to put it mildly, confronting. Especially when the girl who is now playing you is a stunning version of your former self. It all takes place in the Alps. Beautiful.

It gets even more beautiful thanks to CHANEL. They took care of the girls' outfits, the makeup, and arranged for the director to shoot on 35 mm film, much more beautiful but also significantly more expensive than a digital camera. All in the spirit of Coco Chanel, who found it important to support art and artists and give a little push in the right direction.

Take a look. Beautiful.
