Reason for Award
The concept is interesting. Run-of-the-mill comments like this are all that come to mind to express the unique appeal of this project by a French video production company that seems almost to defy adequate description. It’s the epitome of chic. It’s cute. Then the viewer is startled by the sudden intrusion of painful, shocking images. Is it a parody of a TV commercial? Not a parody? Beauty Kit is over in a flash, before you can lay hold of the artists’ intentions.
