Whether they’re concocting kitchen etiquette for Electrolux or going wacky for Skol, Brazilian agency F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi always seems to keep us on our toes.
The latest effort from the agency for Honda is targeted as an anthemic, fist-raising short film promoting the client’s HR-V line via moment of “revolution” from those who were “in the trenches”: Martin Luther King, Woodstock hippies, a Hendrix homage, et cetera.
In a statement, F/Nazca president/general creative director Fabio Fernandes says:
“The film was designed to be as aesthetically beautiful, seductive, and as modern as the HR-V. And it is as grandiose as Honda’s plans to revolutionize this category. This excellent production, produced by Killers and directed by Claudio Borreli, reproduces epic scenes by meticulously reconstructing each time period. The Woodstock scene and Martin Luther King’s march on Washington are so faithful to the actual events that they appear to be archive footage.”
