Prada: A therapy

A short and unexpected film by Roman Polanski starring Ben Kingsley and Helena Bonham Carter. It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, just before Polanski’s film Tess. Polanski commented: “When I was asked to shoot a short movie for Prada, I did not think that I could really be myself, but the reality is that in the total freedom I was given, I had the opportunity to reunite my favorite group of people on set and just have fun. It’s refreshing to know that there are still places open to irony and wit and, for sure, Prada is one of them.”

P&G London 2012: The hardest job in the world

A tribute to moms. The hardest job in the world, but at the same time, the best job in the world. Wieden + Kennedy launched the P&G "Thank you, Mom" campaign for the London 2012 Olympic Games with a 2 minute film.

A very emotional film directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu (Babel, Biutiful, 21 Grams). It was shot on 4 continents and features local actors and athletes from each location—London, Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles and Beijing.

Nike Free: I Would Run To You

This story will surely remind you a 2009 Cannes' gold winner spot. In Nike's spot we see two lovers running across USA to meet each other. They are singing some funny lyrics, the guy gets in the hospital because he can't keep up to the pace and the woman finds him there to end the little story and promote Nike Free Run+ 3. A social media campaign that will challenge runners to test their strength by singing to a special “Nike Free Running Karaoke” mix, debuts next week. 

The spot is easy to watch, funny in some points but too "American" for me. 

Those who missed the awarder "Love Distance" spot can watch it after Nike's. Which one do you like?

Barclaycard: Dinosaur Milk (The history of payment mockumentary)

To promote contactless payment, Barclaycard created a mockumentary of the history of payments.
If you love English humour, you'll definitely enjoy this film. From Cavemen bartering pigs for dinosaur milk, to Romans who don't have pockets to put their coins and on to Georgian period of bank notes and wigs, the film travels through time to present day where we can pay with our mobile phones.
