Nokia is doing this thing where they put out a clip of banal surreality and are inviting consumers to solve its puzzle by downloading something using a Nokia-brand phone or something. That part is explained here. But they’re calling the video in question “the weirdest clip ever,” which means “the weirdest clip some advertising guys could bang out on a Friday afternoon so they could beat the traffic to the beach” because it’s just cliche weird. It’s weird we’ve seen a million times before, most recently in those “Your dreams miss you” Rozerem commercials. I don’t know anything about surreal filmmaking, but I know it shouldn’t involve a dwarf, because that’s the #1 cliche:
Nokia is the David Lynch of cellular phone manufacturers.

I just wanted to see more of those Neutral Milk Hotel drum head people.
That was way more Bunuel than Lynch but more Jodorowsky than Bunuel. I’m gonna go shoot myself now.
That was so nice of Michel Gondry to lend Nokia deleted scenes from his latest movie.
