Brad Pitt Chanel Ad Screengrab - H 2012
YouTubeConan O’Brien may have joked that the product Brad Pitt is selling in a new commercial is “Nonsensical Ramblings” — but the actor’s dead-serious campaign for Chanel No 5 perfume lives on: A second clip was posted on Tuesday to Chanel’s YouTube channel.
STORY: Brad Pitt’s Chanel No. 5 Ad: Hot or Weird?
The new 30-second spot — also helmed by Atonement director Joe Wright — uses the same cryptic monologue uttered by the Moneyball star in the much-maligned first ad. (“It’s not a journey. Every journey ends, but we go on,” Pitt muses.)
But this time we cut away from Pitt’s searching eyes and that now-familiar textured backdrop to glimpse a series of dreamy, CGI-enhanced images: a woman in a white dress seemingly walking on water; a giant perfume bottle hovering above a futuristic escalator; and a woman in a metallic evening gown gazing at a golden skyline from inside a glass elevator.
An overall improvement? Or a downgrade? Share your thoughts below.
