-
- Each of the four 30-second black-and-white spots interprets
- a ruinous relationship from famous romance novels: a woman
- fondling her absent lover's belongings, a man rendered
- sleepless by the image of an inaccessible beauty. They all
- capture the essence of one emotion: obsession. When it came to
- updating the weird yet popular Obsession fragrance ads, Calvin
- Klein was reluctant to tamper with perfection. He wanted the
- new ads to maintain their mystique, along with an element of
- romance. A tall order, but Klein went to the king of weird
- himself, David Lynch. From his soap noir TV show, Twin Peaks,
- to his bizarre film Wild at Heart, Lynch's resume seemed suited
- to the task. Twin Peaks fans will be delighted to see that Lara
- Flynn Boyle and James Marshall, two of the show's principal
- actors, are cast in the commercials as well.
