I love Rohmer’s simplicity; everything is in the dialogue. The image can stay the same for several minutes. The roles are made for the actors, and everything feels very real. These are real people, and the stories are very ordinary.

This work is the synthesis of everything I love in visual storytelling. A simple idea, easy to execute, with a lot of meaning and likely done with few resources.

One of the first music videos made by Kourtrajmé, at a time when everyone wanted high-budget music videos. This DV-shot video etched the song in our minds forever. Even when I just hear the music, the images come back to me.

The highest level of surrealism; this film doesn’t even seem to be made to please. It’s a blend of ideas around a romantic relationship. The rest, no one could have predicted. There’s nothing rational; everything is designed to provoke. Two people in 1929 dared to make this film.

The first time I saw stop motion—and then the music! Honestly, at first, I was scared of this ad, and it aired so much during the summer when I was little that I ended up watching it like a cartoon.

As a huge football fan, this ad literally changed me. After that, my brother and I only wanted to wear Nike. We tried to recreate the moves at home, much to the dismay of our parents and their home decor.
