Description
For over a century, Campari has stood as a symbol of timeless elegance and craftsmanship. At its core lies the Negroni, a cocktail of perfect balance and sophistication.
Campari partnered with acclaimed Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen, who stars as The Bartender, a figure of precision and individuality. Set in an elegant bar, the story unfolds as he crafts the classic aperitivo with ritualistic care. Every detail, from his deliberate movements to the final creation’s allure, elevates mixology into an art form, mirroring the craft of filmmaking. The film seamlessly blends Campari’s heritage with bold innovation, inspiring audiences to embrace their own Red Passion.
