The filmĀ sees aĀ Prada-clad Bonham Carter’s character visiting a psychiatrist (played by Kingsley) to discuss a bad dream.

“It’s a sort of anti-ad,” PolanskiĀ said afterwards, joking that he wanted to show the world that he was as good at making short films as he was at long ones.

The ad was screened before veteran moviemaker Polanski presented a restored version of his 1979 pictureĀ Tess, which tells the story of a peasant girl that becomes the affection of two men.
