CATEGORIES Video, Announcements When we heard Darren Aronofsky
was directing a Revlon commercial, we could only imagine the
possibilities. Would it be a one-minute exposé on the human
condition? Would we be subjected to an overdose a la 'Requiem
for a Dream' or a triumphant 'Wrestler'-like story? Would it
even make sense? Unfortunately, the ad seems to be like any
other straightforward makeup commercial, just with a bit of an
artsy twist.  Shot entirely in black and white, the 60-second
spot stars actress Jessica Biel along with
singer/rapper/producer Pharrell Williams, who also composed the
music in the commercial. The ad begins with Biel in a black
dress sitting on the bed of some high-end hotel as Pharrell
walks down a long, dark hallway. Eventually, she puts on her
Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara, which includes the
requisite close-up on the label, as Pharrell steps into the
hotel room.  That's it.  Check out the ad after the jump and let
us know what you think.
