Hmm, interesting. How come I haven't seen the commercial on tv?

I've actually heard the audio track they used on Eyes Wide Shut.

That is not a commercial I would expect to see in our land of moral hypocracy, though the only reason is likely that it depicts transgender ideas!!. Very beautiful, and entertaining. Thanks Lorna.

Love, Carolynn

The ad, titled "The Secret," aired in Great Britain and was a finalist for the Epica awards, one of Europe's most prestiguous advertising awards. It was commisioned by BBDO Milan (BBDO is one of the world's largest ad agencies), and was directed by Tarsem Singh, who did REM's "Losing My Religion" video.

The music is Jocelyn Pook’s original score “Masked Ball”, which as Maria said, was used in Stanley Kubrick’s film "Eyes Wide Shut."

And who wouldn't want a version of the video not dependent on streaming Flash (it's in iPod video format)

I think it was great! I just read a brief bio on the two models/actors.

The editors of Sorrisi respond:

Gentle readers,
The model in the Campari Red Passion commercial is named Mihai Neghirla. Born in Romania into a family of Mongol origin, he began his modeling career in Romania, where he filmed some publicity commercials. After moving to Italy in 2003, he worked as a designer for Perugina for about a year, in order to be able to resume his career as a model. Mihai has modeled for several Italian designers, including Ferrè.

The actress in the spot, Nanda Hampe, was born in Hamburg to a Thai mother and a German father, and there she studied and began her career as a model. She has worked in the major world capitals, from Europe to America, finally choosing to settle in New York. She has filmed commercials, posed for famous photographers, been a spokesmodel for Guerlain and modeled for well-known fashion, cosmetic and perfume companies.
- The Editors of Sorrisi

I think as well there is still a ban in the USA for commercial television ads featuring "hard liquor." Beer and wine are okay but there are no "hard stuff" commercials for several years now on general commercial tv. Cable/satellite may be exempt, ????.

Hugs
