This is a cool video from Spike Jonze.
October 19th, 2011
It all started when filmmaker Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich, Where the Wild Things Are) met handbag designer Olympia Le-Tan and asked her to create a Catcher in the Rye embroidery for his wall. She asked him to collaborate on a film in return. And so Jonze and Le-Tan, together with French director Simon Cahn, spent six months writing a script, then animating 3,000 pieces of felt cut by Le-Tan herself. The result is Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side), a short stop motion film set inside the famous Parisian bookstore, Shakespeare and Company, and it features a skeleton, his lover, and some famous book covers that spring to life.
For more backstory, don’t miss this short “Making of” film, a short interview with Olivia Le-Tan, and an interview with Spike Jonze. Here, you can also watch Mourir Auprès de Toi (now added to our Free Movie collection) in a larger format.
