Oscar winning actress Marion Cotillard has teamed up with Glasgow's faviourite indie art rockers Franz Ferdinand to record the song 'The Eyes of Mars' to mark the launch of Dior's new fashion range.
Music and lyrics are by Franz Ferdinand, and the campaign features an online mini movie about a fictional character created by designer John Galliano
Cotillard, who won an Oscar in 2008 for Best Actress for her portrayal of Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose is the face of the French fashion label.
Cotillard, who was this month made a Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, was also praised by critics for her singing ion the musical Nine, where she starred alongside Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren and Penelope Cruz.
It's not the first time the Franz boys have dabbled with the French music scene, they covered Air's Sexy Boy and recorded Serge Gainsbourg's Sorry Angel with Jane Birkin for the 2005 album Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited.
I have to say, it sounds a lot like a Franz Ferdinand song rather something that was just written for an advertising campaign, and a pretty bold choice for Cotillard.
