Can’t say I liked much in Marie Antoinette but I’m eager to see what she does next. I suppose she’s needed some time off since having a child. Hopefully, she’ll get back into it soon.

I mean, she never gets to do that in her films! Too experimental!

That’s all. I have no issue with feature film director’s doing commercials.

The answer:

A company throws a lot of money at a project that you get to work on and you get to use it as a chance to experiment, play around, test out something you’ve always wanted to do.

They’re fun for filmmaker and a lot of people, like Tarsem for example, would use commercials as a way to test out things he wanted to try in Feature films, but didn’t want to have to worry about blowing them on set and ruin a days worth of feature schedule, etc.

it make sense.

The hip trend of already wealthy and famous filmmakers directing shallow advertisements for expensive luxury items most people can’t afford. Have some artistic integrity for pete’s sake…

First Wes Anderson, now Sofia Coppola. Baz Luhrman was on Charlie Rose a couple weeks ago, and he too showed a commercial he did with Nicole Kidman for Chanel No. 5. He also noted it is apparently the most expensive commercial ever made. Don’t know about that though.

Guy Ritchie’s commercial for Nike not too long ago was pretty good also.
