A+ would watch again.
Kenzo creative directors Carol Lim and Humberto Leon aren’t new to making cool decisions or making films. They worked with Spike Jonze, Natasha Lyonne, Carrie Brownstein, Khalil Joseph and more on fashion films and have made a feature with Kirsten Dunst. This time, they’re giving young international directors a platform in Kenzo Season Zero.
Filmmakers Mati Diop, Baptist Penetticobra and Eduardo Williams were given the question “How do we inhabit Earth today?” to prompt their work. Mati responded with Olympus, which follows her model brother Gard Diop on a barely-lit cruise through Paris; Baptist portrayed a black Mona Lisa with a fondness for orange juice, and called it Untitled (Juice); Eduardo made Tzzd wherein an elf sleeps and dreams on the subway.
