The Mullet Haircut and other tales...


This post on Turbanhead led me to discover a delightful collection of short movies and trailers from all over the world at Absolut Pictures(Look for Absolut Pictures under Absolut Campaigns). Mulit is a western production in 70's bollywood style which tells the tale of a slick Mumbai hair dresser, Mulit who accidently invents the mullet hairdo as the result of an unfinished haircut when his affair with the Prime Minister's daughter lands him in trouble. The movie was shot in location in Mumbai and a CG team worked on it to give it a vintage bollywood movie look with some film degradation and patchy scene breaks. The starry skies and birds flying over the palace were also added later by the team. The Absolut vodka botttle images are also scattered throughout the movie in the form of palace arches, salon flooring and even the salon's licence cancellation stamp. It's hilarious though, for those who understand hindi to attempt to correlate the hindi dialogue with the english subtitles which were probably created by people who got carried away by their creativity.

There are some delightful trailers for fictional movies created by Sam Raimi, Spike Lee, Tarsem(who directed the J.Lo movie 'The Cell') and others.
