Telecom Italia – Quiet

Posted on March 1st, 2010 by admin in telecom | 25 Comments »

Quiet gives us 55 delicate seconds with Leonardo DiCaprio lying on a grassy hill in a beautiful place out in the country. The scene is bathed in golden sunlight as bugs and pollen swirl about. Deep focus creates lush detail. Pulling out his pocket communicator, he reads “When are you arriving back?” He sets it aside with a simple “Whatever,” and, silhouetted against the landscape, continues his rest.

The commercial premiered on Italian television in September of 2000 as the conclusion to a campaign of four ads featuring well-known directors (Spike Lee, Woody Allen, Ridley Scott) starring well-known figures.

The scene was set to the pastoral music of Boards of Canada, who gave Chris 1.5 hours of music for the project, as they did for Chris’s Nissan campaign.

Duration : 0:0:53
