VIDEO: Wes Anderson has directed a truly brilliant Christmas ad for H&M

Tony Cuddihy

For lovers of The Royal Tenembaums, The Grand Budapest Hotel and, well, the festive season.

Director Wes Anderson has out together this perfectly offbeat, yet warm-hearted, Christmas ad for H&M starring the Oscar-winner Adrien Brody.

Playing the part of a train conductor, Brody announces to his passengers that the locomotive on which they’re travelling will be massively delayed on Christmas Day.

He then invites an assortment of passengers to the cafeteria section of the train for a Christmas lunch which, to put it mildly, puts Iarnród Éireann’s packet sandwiches and Danish pastries in the shade.

This is perfect, and uniquely Wes Anderson.
