Who’d a thought it – an attractive EV advert. As a substitute of the same old guff – “working footage”as my outdated pal Jerry Choose as soon as put it – of unlikely smoothies rushing alongside in mobiles disguised as vehicles, BETC Paris has produced a diverting spin on Spielberg’s iconic ‘ET’ for Citroen’s new ë-C4. Directed by Gary Freedman.
As ever, with BETC, there’s a twist.
Citroen CMO Federico Goyret says: “We needed to play with basic sci-fi tropes as a lot because the viewers’s feelings.You watch this glorious relationship develop, see them working collectively to succeed in the mothership, and simply while you suppose the place the story goes – our lovable alien pulls off the last word betrayal, selecting the consolation of the ë-C4 over their trusted human pal. It’s heartbreaking and hilarious abruptly.”
Pity Citroens, as soon as synonymous with ground-breaking design, don’t look a bit extra elegant however guess they’re after a unique place available in the market from once they used to chauffeur Basic De Gaulle.
Can’t blame the company for that. Surprise in the event that they’re planning a sequel?
MAA artistic scale: 9.
