Natalie Portmans Miss Dior Cherie commercial: tragic or cute?

portman1

Ugh. Below is the new commercial for Miss Dior Cherie perfume, starring Natalie Portman. Natalie is also the face of the perfume in print ads too, which I think were probably done before Natalie was pregnant, or when she was just a few months into conceiving her conception. I don’t even have words for how much I dislike this commercial. It was directed by Sofia Coppola, and it uses the famous Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin song, “Je t’aime…moi non plus”. But I didn’t realize that at first, and I thought Natalie Portman was singing – Birkin sounds like Natalie, or vice versa.

It’s just awkward. Like, it was aiming for girly and fun-sexy, but it’s odd seeing Natalie pretend to be silly and fun while her default expression is “Imma gonna cut somebody” bitchface. In the last shot, where she undoes the tie from her neck, she looks less provocative and more pissed off. And I hate the way the dude jerks Natalie back onto the bed. It seems rude.
