Spike Jonze's new Kenzo perfume ad is out of this world

Remember how amazingly bizarre Christopher Walken was in Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice" music video back in 2001? You can thank Spike Jonze for that.

The American director has once again lent his unique visual taste to fashion house Kenzo, by directing its commercial for a new perfume called "Kenzo World."

The four-minute long ad features actress and former dancer Margaret Qualley at a black-tie dinner looking bored and slightly uncomfortable. She then excuses herself and starts dancing manically once she's out of the ballroom.

Mind you, Qualley nailed the different dance style moves from start to finish, and it was impossible to take our eyes off her throughout the video -- unless you're thinking of getting off your seat to join her.

Jonze is a long-time friend of Kenzo's creative directors Carol Lim and Humberto Leon and this is the duo's first fragrance since they took the helm in 2011.
