La Legende de Shalimar

Posted by Robin on 28 August 2013 17 Comments

The new full length short film (almost 6 minutes) for Guerlain Shalimar, shot on location in India and inspired by the story of Shah Jahan and Empress Mumtaz Mahal. You may remember that Shah Jahan had the Taj Mahal built in her memory.

Brief partial nudity, and some bathing and some writhing. Also, elephants and horses.

With Natalia Vodianova (she was also in the NSFW 2011 ad for Shalimar Parfum Initial) and Willy Cartier. Directed by Bruno Aveillan (you can see more of his work here). When I posted the teaser, someone noted the resemblance to the Cartier Odyssey promo — yes, he directed that also. Music by Hans Zimmer.
