"Lady Blue Shanghai" is a short film written and directed by legendary filmmaker David Lynch. It was released earlier this year. The short, starring Marion Cotillard (Inception, La Vie En Rose), is a promotion for a Dior handbag. Lynch, director of such films as Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, is no stranger to making commercials or short films. That is why when you view this artistically beautiful short, you do not even feel like you are watching a commercial. It is basically a David Lynch film with product placement. Cotillard's acting cannot really be judged, due to the fact that she does not have very many lines, but she was perfect for this role. This film demands to be viewed over and over again in order to be fully understood. You can interpret it for yourself by watching it on YouTube here. Please post any input you may have.
