Burberry Releases Harmony Korine-Directed Festive Film With Pierce Brosnan and Fiona Shaw

Burberry published its 2026 festive campaign by Nov. 3, a film titled “Wrapped in Burberry: Celebrating 170 Years.” Harmony Korine directed it. Pierce Brosnan and Fiona Shaw play the hosts of a Christmas gathering.

The film marks the British house’s 170th anniversary and is part of its anniversary celebrations through the year, according to Style Rave. It is set at Longleat House in Wiltshire, England, and comes with a festive range that covers cashmere, childrenswear, pet accessories and Smythson stationery and games.

What the film shows at Longleat House

The film opens with Shaw inviting guests to Longleat House, a historic English estate in Wiltshire. She rushes to greet them while Brosnan sits in a living room reading a newspaper, according to the Press Association’s account published by The Irish News.

That account describes Brosnan as unenthusiastic about the chaos. Presents are passed around, children run through the hallways and a disco ball is installed.

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade play golf in matching Burberry outfits, and Shaw drives a golf cart around the grounds.

The party interrupts Brosnan’s quiet evening. He eventually joins in and dances with Cara Delevingne. The night ends with a firework display, and Shaw wakes up on a living room sofa.

Style Rave describes golf buggy races, countryside walks, party games and gift exchanges. It says the film moves through different parts of the property before the guests gather under an oversized disco ball, and that Korine gives it a cinematic approach.
