Looks like Christmas has come early! Well-dressed filmmakers and genii Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola have got their brains together and come up with an idea for a short film for Prada entitled Candy in celebration of the brand’s new perfume. Let’s just forget about the perfume for a minute and concentrate on what’s really important here: the creation of a Jules et Jim-inspired, Jacques Dutronc-soundtracked three-minute masterpiece.

Starring two of the most handsome men on the planet at this moment, and a cloud-haired model (who is refreshingly seen tucking into treats at any given opportunity) this cheeky little ménage à trois is an absolute delight to the film and fashion world combined. Wes, Roman, you’ve done it again.

Three people stand together in a room. A person with long blonde hair and a white dress holds the hand of another person in a dark suit, while a third person in a suit looks on. A subtitle at the bottom reads “Hi, I’m Candy.”

Three people sit in a cinema, looking forward with expressions of shock and confusion. They are seated in a grand, ornate theatre with a bright projector beam cutting through the dark.

Three people stand around a small cake topped with lit candles. A person on the left looks down at the cake with a finger to their lips, while the other two look on. The scene is set against a purple backdrop with balloons, and a subtitle reads “Excuse us.”

Two people sit side by side in a waiting room, both holding open books. They wear dark suits and sit before a window with the words “MESSIEURS DAMES” written on the glass.
