So, Spike Jonze made this “short film”/cute stop-motion commercial for Olympia Le-Tan’s felt book-covers inspired clutches, possibly Smiths-noddishly entitled Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side).

There’s short soundbite from talk-singing French girl SoKo, who looks like this. Jonze gets a soundbite in too, ’cause they’re morbid fictional creatures in love!

Co-directed with Simon Cahn and shot at Paris’ famous Shakespeare and Company bookstore, this one’s fisted full with literary references and sparsely sprinkled with PG13 gags. It looks like they took their time, “working night and day animating the 3,000 pieces of felt Le-Tan had cut by hand.” Was it worth it? See above. I meant the video, not SoKo. Or did I?
