The Los Angeles launch of the [Dom Pérignon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dom-prignon-x-takashi-murakami) bottle design by David Lynch is given a surrealist twist by filmmaker Luke Gilford, with [Champagne Dreams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twist-the-script-campaign).

The video is a depiction of the opening night party that launched the luxe beverage in Los Angeles. The event boasted musical acts such as The Kills and Diplo that are briefly teased in this short film. It displays the event in a light that is reminiscent of Lynch’s style. The short resembles the unconscious mind’s ability to remember.

Aesthetically, Gilford’s portrait can be described as lush, dark and hallucinatory whilst keeping an air of highly luxuriant elegance that the Dom Pérignon brand is know for. The result is spectacular and surreal.
