What is perhaps most impressive and interesting about the video is the seamless union of Prada's clean, sleek and classic design with the film medium in a thought-provoking way. (Interesting Prada should release the video less than twelve hours after the Martin Scorcese film tribute and Scorcese himself both convinced us we're completely inadequate.) The nine-minute video completely defies everything we know and experience about advertising. With few exceptions, we're constantly looking and buying what can be processed quickly, what can be provocative without requiring anything of us and what can "make a statement" without really saying anything at all. Further, the video defies fashion advertising to date. No sex, no bare backs or breasts, not even a kiss.
