Marion Cotillard For Dior In Funny, Hollywood-Skewering Ad (VIDEOS)

Most fashion videos are stultifyingly unoriginal, or at best simply boring. But Marion Cotillard's latest installment for Christian Dior, "L.A.dy Dior", is totally awesome -- sarcastic, irreverent and downright funny.

Reuniting with director John Cameron Mitchell, who directed her previous Dior videos (including this one co-starring Ian McKellan), Cotillard plays a Hollywood starlet named Margaux.

She's an unhappy celebrity surrounded on all sides by a flock of L.A. stereotypes -- the manipulative, gray-suited agent; the champagne-swilling, gay hairdresser; the self-absorbed fashion stylist; and the demanding male photographer with the vaguely European name.

With these characters and more (with names like Britannia, Durandon and Deni) hovering over her, Margaux has no choice but to react in the most L.A.-appropriate way possible: she throws a total temper tantrum.

But not without grabbing the latest Lady Dior bag first.

The first time I saw Marion Cotillard was, I think, in the Craig Ferguson show and she had a very thick accent and much trouble with English.

What a remarkable transition in only a couple of years! She's very "it" isn't she.

Marion Cotillard is an accomplished performer whose dazzling portrayal of legendary French singer Edith Piaf in the 2007 film "La Vie En Rose" earned her the Academy Award. She is only the third actor / actress in the history of the Oscars to win the award for a non-English-speaking lead performance. The others were Sophia Loren in "Two Women" (1961) and Roberto Begnini in "Life is Beautiful" (1997).

It is still a really long commercial. A high class infomercial.

Didn't anyone else notice they misspelled 'Photography' as 'Photgraphy' in the credits? That destroys the credibility of an otherwise-well-crafted satirical piece making fun of an entire genre...doesn't anyone know how to spell among "all those little people" working on this...oh, wait, wait--NOW I get it. The misspelling is part of the satire! How droll!! Cool. So subtle, for we starstruck nerds who can perceive the 'inside jokes' better than everyone else. LOL.
