Well it looks like I'm turning into an advertising agency myself, with all this promotion for Stella Artois' homage to 1960s cinéma français (see here for the first post on this topic). The London-based advertising agency that made the advertisements in my last post (well at least the first two; I've seen both of those on the big screen in the UK -- the third one I saw for the first time on youtube and is supposedly a Canadian advertisement; I have no idea if it's a product of the same London advertising agency or not) has also made a series of short films in the same 1960s French style, parodying the plot of more recent Hollywood offerings. Even though in posting this I might be complicit in some cunning viral marketing campaign for Stella Artois I don't care. These filums are wonderful creations and worth watching in their own right. Stella Artois, my opinion of you is on the up.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I did:
1) Dial Hard -- "Inspector Meqlain plays a deadly game of Simon Says in Dial Hard"
2) 8 Kilomètres -- "2 poets face off in a battle of rhyme in Huit Kilomètres"
3) 24 Heures -- "The clock is ticking for Jacques in Vingt-Quatre Heures"
And while we're in a 1960s French mood, here's a clip of France Gall singing one of my favourite French songs from that era Laisse tomber les filles.
