Wes Anderson Commercial Starring Brad Pitt
Posted in: UncategorizedThe latest Wes Anderson commercial, this time for Japan’s SoftBank Mobile, involves a Mr. Brad Pitt in a yellow pith helmet fussing about during a particularly dense bit of action, strongly reminiscent of Jacques Tati’s 1953 Les Vacances de Monseieur Hulot. The song is Poupée de cire, poupée de son by France Gall.
