"Who knows New York better than Martin Scorsese?" says Gaspard Ulliel with a smile. The French actor (A Very Long Engagement, Hannibal Rising) spent four fortunate days in the city under Scorsese's direction as he filmed the biggest commercial event of the year: Chanel's new men's fragrance, Bleu de Chanel. In this exclusive behind-the-scenes documentary, Ulliel takes us through his process of wooing a beautiful blonde on the subway (Canadian model Ingrid Schram), before unsurprisingly getting the cold shoulder from his current girlfriend, played by Danish singer Amalie Bruun. The footage shows the director in fine form: joking around on set, he seems unsurprisingly in his element. To the surprise of absolutely no-one, it's another Scorsese triumph - and now we're more excited than ever about seeing his new HBO series Broadwalk Empire this autumn.
Bleu de Chanel by Martin Scorsese airs on 25 August. £42.00 for 50ml. chanel.com
