On the heels of the delectable Prada Candy commercials starring Léa Seydoux, the brand tapped Wes Anderson to create its latest short film. Titled Castello Cavalcanti, Anderson’s narrative takes the viewer on a quick spin in the Italian countryside where Jason Schwartzman, playing a racecar driver, crashes in the picturesque town square of Motle Miglia (Many Miles) and serendipitously meets his ancestors. Nostalgic, playful and stylish, the film is a classic Anderson creation.
