Marion Cotillard is Lady Noire

The first in a series of short films for Dior, directed by Olivier Dahan (the brilliant director of "La Vie en Rose"), is a dark, sexy, Hitchcockian ode to a handbag.

This is an exceptionally well made, visually stunning film that is, to me, much more exciting than the bag itself. Masterful art direction invites the viewer to experience a entire world crafted of the bag's silhouette, cannage quilting and implied mystique.
