A collaboration between Spike Jonze, French designer Olympia Le-Tan and filmmaker Simon Cahn, the whimsical, humorous and poignant ‘Mourir Auprès de Toi’ was inspired by Ms. Le-Tan’s accessory designs-embroidered felt adaptations of first editions of classic books. ‘I just loved them and loved the world she was making,’ Mr. Jonze explained “So I asked if I could have one. And she said yeah, if you want to make a film for it. (from the press release) An amazing piece is born that will deeply soak you in. Brilliant.
