Acclaimed filmmaker Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom, The Royal Tenenbaums) has directed a new commercial for the H&M Christmas 2016 collection titled “Come Together,” starring Academy Award-winner/Anderson regular Adrien Brody (The Pianist, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Darjeeling Limited, The Grand Budapest Hotel). Check out the delightful Wes Anderson H&M commercial below!
The story takes place on a train traveling through a snowy landscape on Christmas Eve, with Brody as the conductor and film director Garth Jennings (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Sing) as assistant porter Fritz.
“The winter train ride, under Wes Anderson’s direction, is the perfect setting for H&M’s holiday collection full of relaxed, wearable elegance. It’s about mixing the informal with a sense of occasion, capturing the holiday mood for both dressing up and getting cosy with loved ones,” says Pernilla Wohlfahrt, H&M’s Head of Design and Creative Director.
In the film, lone passengers are traveling to join their loved ones for the Christmas holiday, but winter weather conspires to way-lay them.
“This story may resonate more than ever at a time in the world where we could all do with giving a stranger a hug,” said Adrien Brody.
