Watch Lady Blue Shanghai By David Lynch For Dior

David Lynch’s 15-minute short movie —or rather, "extended commercial"— for Dior, Lady Blue Shanghai, had to include a Dior bag, Old Shanghai and the Pearl Tower. Everything else is totally Lynch. Can you spot the director's trademark techniques and symbolism?

David Lynch - Lady Blue Shanghai for Dior

This post was published a while ago. Please keep its age in mind and if you find any errors, feel free to comment.

David Lynch’s 15-minute Internet short movie —or rather, “extended commercial”— for Dior, Lady Blue Shanghai starring Marion Cotillard, had to include a Dior bag, Old Shanghai and the Pearl Tower. All other elements are totally Lynch, reminiscent of Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me to name just two.

Can you spot Lynch’s trademark techniques and symbolism? Post your answers in the comments!

The eerie sounds effects are common in his films, that and his use of color pallets (including blue, red, and black). Another could be dramatic strobe lights

Is the music (apart from the tango) commercially available somewhere?
