When we think of Hollywood directors like Martin Scorsese, Lars Von Trier or Michael Moore, we think of gritty, violent or soul-crushingly sad movies. Essentially, they are the opposite of what you'd expect from a Christmas movie.
Fourgrounds Media Inc. teamed up with Suitcase in Point Theatre Company to imagine Christmas morning through famous directors' eyes.
Their clever video acts out scenes directed in the styles of 10 filmmakers, including Scorsese, Von Trier and Moore, as well as Wes Anderson, Steven Spielberg and Woody Allen. The clip pulls inspiration from some of the directors' most iconic movie moments, including the opening scene in Scorsese's The Departed featuring "Gimme Shelter" by The Rolling Stones.
The video nails down these directorial styles so perfectly, we're almost bummed they're not real.
