Free delivery for the first 10 days only by Anies B. "My name is ..."

The movie "My name is ..." was first directed by fashion designer Agnès B. under the real name of Agnès Thurbre. It will be limited to 10 days from Wednesday, May 7th.・ Free distribution on the cloud.

This work is a road movie in which Agnès Be himself wrote and directed the story based on an article from a case that he read in a newspaper more than 10 years ago, with a fresh touch of the interaction between a girl and a truck driver. It was released in theaters in 2015 and attracted much attention.

A 12-year-old girl who is traumatized by her father's abuse gets into a red truck that happens to be parked at the beach on a field trip. A strange escape begins with an elderly Scottish trucker, a French girl, an age gap, and two people who don't speak. Two people, who have been injured each other, gradually become aware of each other through the journey. What is waiting at the end ...

Red trucks, blue sea and sky, white sands, green trees, and so on. Vivid colors, contrasts, and artistic visual beauty are unique to fashion designers. The shooting was done in a personal unit with the help of friends. The truck driver was played by contemporary artist Douglas Gordon, the music was accompanied by electropop duo Jean-Benoit Dunkel of Air, and Sonic Youth also provided unreleased material. Furthermore, in the scene shot by the film director Jonas Mekas, it is also important to see that a lot of gorgeous artists and cultural figures unique to Aniesve, who have a wide range of friends, are participating, such as the appearance of Italian political philosopher Antonio Negri.

It's not bad to enjoy the feeling of traveling by watching a road movie where you can enjoy beautiful scenery amid the stress and fatigue of going out. But the ending is not so sweet. Please be prepared to view.
