The Dior 'Lady Blue Shanghai' David Lynch Short Film

The two-part 16-minute Dior 'Lady Blue Shanghai' David Lynch short film is finally here. It's part of a series of conceptual and dramatic ad campaigns with French actress Marion Cotillard. The film was debuted by John Galliano who also provided the art direction for 'Lady Blue Shanghai' this past weekend at the Christian Dior Cruise 2011 fashion show in Shanghai.

Of course, the film is very Lynchian in aesthetic, content and mood. Peep the Dior 'Lady Blue Shanghai' video and see for yourself. For part two, click the links provided.
