Following in the footsteps of actresses like Catherine Deneuve, Carole Bouquet and, more recently, Nicole Kidman, Audrey Tautou is the latest incarnation of the N°5 women. The actress and the director have worked together twice before, in ‘A Very Long Engagement’ and ‘Amelie (of Montmartre)’, the film that made Audrey Tautou a star. The ad tells the story of a night journey in the mythical Orient Express train. ‘I knew that it was the trail that would make everything happen,’ J-P Jeunet confides. And the perfume is in fact the element that sets off this amorous encounter.
