Awesome. Wonder if that was inspiration for the Bill Murray “Lost in Translation” whiskey ad…

I wanted to post the same thing you just wrote. Sofia Coppola made a good research on Japan and japandering and I think Lost in Translation was a very good movie. I love it.

I suspect Sofia Coppola was more inspired by the commercials her father made in Japan years ago.

As for these, I like my Orson Welles booze ads to feature more drunken incoherence – a lot more.
