Interview between Win Wenders and Tilda Swinton on Wenders’s new film, commissioned to mark the CHANEL 2024/25 Métiers d'art collection in Hangzhou
In Wenders’s film, Mademoiselle Chanel’s screen is reimagined as a new window to the world, with the help of contemporary technology, from laptop screens to cameras. The dreams of the past and the habits of modern life combine, a nod to the magnificence of Hangzhou, a contemporary metropolis that embraces both tradition and newness. Just like its setting, this film strays between past and present, fantasy and reality, showing how curiosity can be ignited by image, interchange, and an open-mind.
