Belle d'Opium TV ad Yves Saint Laurent

[Antea13]

Какой аромат такой и танец.

[lazytown222]

this was good... no prob with this TVC

[lookupandgetlost]

this is one of the best commercials i've ever seen

[deedee9960]

what is the name of the song she is dancing too?

[AttackTheGasStation1]

The only they banned it is because it's French. That advert could show british women how they're ugly considering the french elegance, that's why they banned it.

Because it's French. Inferiority complex.

[TheJoeackerman]

@AttackTheGasStation1 and you're a cock.

[AttackTheGasStation1]

@TheJoeackerman Yes, a luxury cock. Happy Christmas.

[xletswatchpornox]

music?

[alba539]

I love this song!

[misslazeny]

this reminds me of a bollywood dance, full of big graceful expressive movement. i don't think anyone who took drugs would move like this. the group who banned this are bunch of idiots.

[stereogrIm]

does it have the same effect if you drink it?

[mimig14]

This would of been better with a brunette.

[wslecz]

@mimig14 would have... lol

[mimig14]

@wslecz thanks for fixing my typo:D

[tapit123]

Better to ban it because it's puerile and boring...

[0secundus]

Yeah, like banning this would certainly win the war on drugs! You know what should be banned? People that seek hidden meaning in everything.

[jazzamk]

the perfume is called 'beautiful opium', i mean seriously, come on.

[BlueMoonFilms2011]

@jazzamk not beautiful opium they mean the person wich is the young women in the word "belle"

so it should be the beauty of opium (beauty is the women) like the beauty and the beast : )

[Chematico]

I have to go to WC!!... stay tune!!

[levonyanmeruzhan]

Хрень то какая, мама дорогая...

[rumataestorian]

@levonyanmeruzhan

дык с парфюмом иначе и не было и быть не может :)

[Abena20]

I can't believe the UK banned this considering some of the things that I've seen on their TV

[zeloskie]

@Abena20 TRUE SHIT

[BlahBlahRainbowFish]

Lmao this is the one that just got banned isn't it? Because there were "drug references" in it... okay but 0:27 is the only bit that actually symbolises taking drugs, yeah the rest is like being ON drugs but seriously? =/

[xTinnaxFaithfulx]

love it ! very sensual :D

[rogansasa]

Nice girl, nice dancing...

[vannadmor]

ela faz dois sinais satanicos

[thaena1]

and why exactly was this banned in certain countries??????????

[VimpaRamie]

@thaena1

Not the foggiest. They CLAIM its because it "appears to show a woman simulating drug use". Having seen most drugs being taken, I think the closest she gets to that is pointing at the joint in her arm... I personally have never seen someone able to move like that on ANY drugs.

[mrlarge1983]

@VimpaRamie from Ad standards agency: "Belle was shown moving in a series of short, rapid scenes, before the ad concluded with her body seizing upwards while lying on the floor, an action we considered could be seen to simulate the effect of drugs on the body."

[VimpaRamie]

@mrlarge1983

Or it could any number of seizures, fits, possessions etc or merely (and I go out on a limb here) just a dance. Such dances do appear to be common and most the time it's actually quite compelling. In truth, that kind of action is far more associated with a fit or dance then anything drug related. But I suppose that is the kind of attitude we just have to get used to, that "drugs WILL cause your body to instantly spasm, shut down and die horribly"

This isn't directed at you Mrlarge

[thaena1]

@VimpaRamie gotcha..neither have i :)

[expressexpose]

@VimpaRamie

Such a shame that they felt the need to simulate shooting heroin. It's fair that it was banned, however that doesn't take from the fact that it is very well made.

As for those who say that someone on drugs wouldn't move like that...that's not the point at all. The idea is that It glamorizes heroine consumption.

Amazing performance though.

[BlahBlahRainbowFish]

@thaena1 "Drug references" =/

[MENDOUCHCA]

Qu'elle est le nom de cette musique ?
