Anton Corbijn, the famous photographer and film director, has been chosen to direct the new Miss Dior film. Best known for his particular photographs of celebrities and musicians like David Bowie, Keith Richards or Clint Eastwood, this representative of the New Wave movement made his first movie in 2007. « Control » is  based on the life of Ian Curtis, the singular leader of Joy Division. After that, he directed Georges Clooney on « The American », and Phillip Seymour Hoffman on his last movie.

For Miss Dior, Natalie Portman portrays a girl the day of her wedding. The film opens with the song « Piece of my heart » by Janis Joplin, while an anxious Miss Dior is getting ready in her suite. To a houseboy who calls her « Madam » she responds: « It’s Miss, actually ». The line says it all. Having made her decision to break free, she turns around and leaves her father and soon-to-be husband in front of the altar. Running into the woods to a beautiful cliff overseeing the sea, the throws away her bouquet and lets go of her white wedding gown to reveal a little black dress underneath. Now she’s free again, flying on a helicopter to get back to her lover, in the city of love, Paris.

Miss Dior is free, adventurous, terribly in love and absolutely unexpected. #itsmissactually
