    They are confusing menacing with sexy…shudders…
    And everything looks so cold and sterile, did the girl with the dragon tattoo direct this spot?

      I have a feeling that’s right — it’s meant to be sexy.

      And tired of girls at windows! Gucci Premiere and Boss Nuit Pour Femme both did similar spots recently, minus the male figure.

    Long, boring buildup to a tame kiss. 2 thoughts:

    1) This looks like dozens of videogames.

    2) This is the rainy side of the island, on the other side there’s a lush tropical jungle and the Acqua di Gioia girl lives there.

    That was both utterly depressing, and downright creepy.

    The general feeling of everything but the last 10 seconds feels like a movie…

    A Lifetime Network movie…

    One that will feature a title like, “Stalker: The Jane Doe Story,” or, “Victim: A True Story,” or “Men are Evil and Will Hurt You.”

      I seriously lold at that.

      I was thinking..stalker, or even murderer when what elevator video came on. ‘On this edition of 48 Hours..the CK model mystery”..creeepy! CK can’t get anything right these days, lol.

      ‘Every move you make, every breath you take, I’ll be watching you”. That Police song came to mind…which is also pretty creepy, lol.

    It was a dark and stormy night…you’d think the marketing folks at CK could find more interesting things to do with the luscious Alex S. on film. He definitely could have been shirtless, stalking her up the stairs, dripping rain from those perfectly chiseled cheekbones —

    Um what was this ad for again?

    Yikes! My video thing is working again and I LOVED this. The music is fantastic. I think its that sort of edgy, basic instinct, sexy thing. I like the moody danger element-
    I even like the window scene, with the rain, and the sense of impending tragedy – and of course the the elemental stormy sea!
