L’Odyssee de Cartier

Posted by Robin on 7 March 2012 15 Comments

L'Odyssée de Cartier is a short film for the Cartier brand — not for any particular product — directed by Bruno Aveillan. If you watch it, do expand to full screen. Hat tip to Kevin!

    WOW. Beautiful! Now that’s an ad!(Or should I say short film?). I may have to watch again! I love big cats too! I love ads with big cats:D. I’d like to see more of his stuff in the future! I love when the leopard breaks from the jewel like encasing. Gorgeous!

      It really is lovely. More brands should do things like this.

    I loved this, thank you!

    I enjoyed the Indian segment as well, but I think I enjoyed the troika scene the most! Shades of Zhivago…

    I need to research and see if the countries referenced have significance to the house. Was the dragon meant to remind us of Le Baiser Du Dragon, for instance, or China in general?

    And I wonder if the leopard will go to still more places in another film? (Please!)

      I have a feeling there are many Cartier references which went right over my head since I don’t really know the jewelry & watches. Even the dragon — that might have been a Cartier symbol before the perfume, I don’t know.

    I think the leopard must be the most beautiful animal on earth. There’s a big cat rescue park close to where I live. I wish I worked there.

    Great cinematography! I would like to be the leopard going on that journey….and then I want to be the gorgeous girl with the gorgeous jewelry and go into the box of Cartier dreamworld with my pet leopard!

    What… I can’t even…

    That was so over the top that I can’t help but love it. Thanks (Robin and Kevin) for posting that even though it isn’t perfume related — otherwise I probably would have never seen it!
