Adrien Brody's train journey to Tangier in Kismet, Monos' cinematic travel campaign
Adrien Brody, fresh off his Best Actor win for The Brutalist, steps into another starring role—this time as the face of Monos' new Aluminum Luggage Collection. The campaign takes him through the streets of Tangier, where he reflects on travel's power to dissolve borders. As part of this campaign, the short film Kismet follows the two-time Oscar winner on a journey through Morocco. It begins on a train and leads him to Tangier, a city long beloved by iconic figures who roamed its medina and reveled in its vibrant nights—among them Paul Bowles, Henri Matisse, and many others. «Growing up in New York—a city full of diversity and unexpected encounters—ignited a thirst for adventure. I often find myself on location in different places while working on films, which is exciting; I love to explore, to travel, to get lost and find my way», Brody shared with Rolling Stone MENA while on set during the cinematic shoot for Monos in Tangier. «Traveling reminds me that borders are irrelevant. No matter how different cultures or people may seem, we're all just people living our unique stories», he continued. Shot by filmmaker Alexis Gómez, Kismet follows Brody as he explores Tangier. The short film is a nod to The Darjeeling Limited, Wes Anderson's 2007 film about three estranged brothers on a soul-searching train journey across India, much of which takes place on a train. In the film, Brody carries Monos' all-new aluminum suitcase, available in Aspen Silver, Champagne Gold, and Caviar Black. Since its launch in 2019, Monos has earned a reputation as «the Apple of suitcases», crafting minimalist, high-end travel gear with thoughtful design.
