This ‘8 Kilometres’ video is a part of Stella Artois’ ‘Smooth Original’ campaign for its 4% lager. The spoof ad features two men, who trade insults (in French) inside a jazz club to raucous applause. It’s all shot in classic black and white with French cinematic techniques.
The ‘Smooth Original’ campaign created by Mother London contains two other videos, which similarly draw on Old Hollywood film styles. Below, check out the two other videos, "Dial Hard" and "24 Hours."
