via Kottke, a link to a list of commercials directed by film directors…great stuff in there…
to whet your appetite for it, here’s a Guiness ad that was pretty big in the UK but we never saw here…it’s so good, and directed by Sexy Beast’s Jonathan Glazer…audio takes a moment to kick in, so don’t adjust your set…
OK, this is absolutely incredible, and, bizarrely, the mind-boggling surfing sequence totally makes me want to drink Guiness. But I must say that my favorite was the Spike Jonze ad for Gap–I was laughing with joy at the sight of so many people tearing apart the shop with such commitment to their work. Beautiful!
