'Towards A Dream in the USA' - Malick Made This Louis Vuitton Short

Terrence Malick Short Film

What if Terrence Malick started making commercials for corporations instead of full-length films? We now have an very wordplay to that question. There's a short ad video from overpriced malleate trademark Louis Vuitton tabbed Towards A Dream in the USA that was released a few months ago. It turns out this was shot by the well-known American filmmaker Terrence Malick, who hasn't made a new full-length since last directing A Hidden Life in 2019. It's not that good, but now we know who made this. "Actually shot well-nigh a year ago but only released this fall, the project found Malick reteaming with cinematographer Alexis Zabé (The Florida Project, Post Tenebras Lux), and uses a piece from Michael Nyman's stirring score for The Piano." It's not an heady mucosa - just a tuft of kids interacting with an ugly Louis Vuitton trunk. I kind of hate this short - there's nothing unique or interesting well-nigh it, Malick is aping his own style for money. And it uses kids to sell us fancy luggage? This is so bad. But hey, it's a new Malick mucosa so we're posting it anyway. Have a look.
