LVMH Moët Hennessy Vuitton : April 23, 2019 Ridley Scott gives an exceptional master class in Paris following the release of his film “The Seven Worlds” for Hennessy

Hennessy President and Chief Executive Officer Bernard Peillon noted that Hennessy strives to 'inspire imaginary worlds and engage with the greatest storytellers and exceptional talents.' The cognac house thus naturally called on Ridley Scott, who returned to advertising following a 15-year hiatus. The director applied his subversive sense of narrative and knack for innovation for the new Hennessy campaign. The result most definitely lives up to expectations, a captivating four-minute short film entitled 'The Seven Worlds', exploring the seven tasting notes in Hennessy X.O, the Maison's signature cognac.

'He does not just make movies, he is not just a director, he creates legends,' said the moderator of the event, Isabelle Giordano, Managing Director of UniFrance, the agency that promotes French cinema around the world.

'It doesn't really matter whether it's a movie, an advertisement, a painting or something else. The first real question to ask is 'Am I really communicating something?' When you have a great product like Hennessy and you get great advertising, it's a fantastic combination,' said Ridley Scott.
