The Wonderful Tale of Motrio Hugues de la Brosse
There’s no other comedy director like Hugues De La Brosse. His films are both funny and sensitive, using very cinematic shots and a strong sense of narration. At ease with both dialogue and visual expression, he treats his advertising spots like short films. A true OG of the Birth roster, today he’s considered as one of France’s most sought-after comedy directors. A passionate scriptwriter and collaborator, Hugues is always willing to push the comedy aspect to make it even more impactful. On set, he is relentless and pushes his actors’ limits in order to find that « je ne sais quoi » which will make a lasting impression on the public. His distinctive directing style has seduced both French and international clients.
Comedy director Hugues De La Brosse cuts through the monotony of car ads with this playful and touching spot created by Buzzman through Birth Paris, titled The Wonderful Tale of Motrio.
The gorgeously-shot film could be mistaken for a Western blockbuster as the opening scene unfolds with a gang of cowboys coaxing a wild beast from a wagon, except this is no horse – it's a battered Renault Clio.
Hilarious and heartfelt in equal measures, Brosse captures the unlikely story of a zoomorphic vehicle restored to its former glory by the tender love and dedication of one determined man.
