Ulliel was a advantageous French actor however portrayed a extra conventional instance of what constituted ‘manhood.’ He was good-looking, chiselled, robust and within the Scorsese industrial from 2010 was tortured by recollections of a mysterious blonde girl. It’s 60 seconds of fantastically shot nightscapes, a moodily-lit press convention, two glamorous girls, a pair of large crimson lips and is Bond-like in its styling. It may be laborious to get away from the concept fragrance campaigns are sometimes about need and desirability, however with Chalamet, Chanel have recruited somebody that may deliver one thing else to the celebration – sensitivity, duality and one hell of a variety. This yr alone we’ll see him play a younger Willy Wonka, Bob Dylan and he’ll reprise his main position within the sci-fi epic Dune: Half Two.
