A director steps behind the camera. A musician takes the wheel. A car drives itself down a famous road. This is how Anthony Vaccarello, for the first time, directs a film.
The project is “Blurry Moon,” a music video co-produced by Saint Laurent and Because Music. It is written and performed by Charlotte Gainsbourg, with production by SebastiAn. But the vision belongs to Vaccarello. It is his latest step in blending different art forms into the world of Saint Laurent, which has a history of moving into cinema.
The setting is Los Angeles, on Mulholland Drive. The atmosphere is both intimate and large-scale, pulling inspiration from the moods of David Lynch and composer Angelo Badalamenti. It feels like an off-kilter tribute to Hollywood’s daydreams.
Charlotte Gainsbourg is at the wheel, lost in thought. Slowly, the car begins to drive itself, guided by something unseen, a quiet metaphor for absence and memory. What is a simple car ride becomes, through Vaccarello’s lens, a cinematic moment. It is an extended sequence that captures a feeling of drifting, of being untethered from the usual rules of the road.
