Great blog Livia. Straight onto my RSS and hosted this ad on my blog too. I work in commercial production at http://www.rsafilms.com (Ridley Scott’s film co) and regularily work Italian agencies and production companies and we have done a couple of Campari ads in the past, nothing compared to this. Do you know who directed this?
I worked with Jocelyn Pook too when I filmed William Orbit in concert too.
Hi Damiano, thanks for stopping by. Campari always does great ads. Soon I’ll post another one that is truly amazing. I don’t know who produced it but I guess it’s a British agency. The ad is called “The Secret”.
Wikipedia writes: In the scene with the ritual, the incantations heard in the background are in Romanian, played backwards. The piece, named “Masked Ball”, is an adaptation by Jocelyn Pook of her earlier work “Backwards Priests.” When first contacting Pook in regard to providing music for the film, Kubrick asked her if she had anything else like Backwards Priests - “you know, weird.”
Sounds like the music from Eyes Wide Shut, from the lets call it ‘group’ scene.

I agree Dan, they are both so sensual. It’s incredible.
