Plastic Bag

I loved Goodbye Solo and Chopshop which Roger Ebert said was one of the top 10 films of the past decade. Here, Director Ramin Bahrani uses a plastic bag to tell an intricate story on dying and the environment. Legendary director Werner Herzog does the voice-over.

Google – Parisian Love

Posted by Ajit on February 7, 2010 @ 11:20 pm | Comment

I have to admit, missed most of the Super Bowl and all of the ads that go along with the football. But I did catch the Google ad and it is a beauty. It is a triumph of story over all the technical wizardry that is usually showcased in Super Bowl ads.

UPDATE: Visit Search Stories, for a whole series of these ads.
