With Where The Wild Things Are currently wowing audience overseas, Spike Jonze figured his life wasn't quite weird enough and released this freaky new short film, starring... uh, Kanye West? Is that right?
11 weird and wonderful minutes long, We Were Once A Fairytale sees President Obama's favourite musician playing a caricature of himself i.e. a drunken jackass in a club hitting on other guys' girls. Is this fiction? Slap a TMZ watermark on it and I'd take it as gospel.
Anyway, after some fairly convincing booziness from West, things start to get a little 'out there'. It's typically twisted stuff from Jonze, but don't bother trying to find any meaning in it - it's artful guff, albeit intriguing stuff while it lasts.
Incidentally, I really hope I wasn't the only one who kept waiting for the Kanye West "Imma let you finish" meme to kick in before the end. Thankfully it doesn't.
Anyway, enjoy the short. Where The Wild Things Are is released in December in the UK, but our man in the US, where it shot to the top of the charts this weekend, is saying very positive things about it already. Consider this a primer.
