oh, no again…..
A film director (Shawn Yue), is suffering
of looking for a hidden treasure :
«the ideal woman».
This Man is searching for balance:
between reality and idealism,
the sensual and the intellectual,
the sense of touch and the sense of sight.
Between women in film
and the one he meet out of screen,
in reel life,
he cannot establish a link.
He should say where began the other one ended.
Inevitably,
he is as much a reflection of ourselves:
striving for greatness,
only to achieve the ordinary and familiar...
with episodes of momentary oblivion in between.
Thematically, the film begins and ends
with the same impossibility
to see the beauty of a woman in time.
The film director,
unable to hear the cryptic message,
returns to his latest distraction...
perhaps still dreaming of attaining
the elusive sweet life.

A harried love retreats into
his introspective journey and fantasies.

The ideal woman:
mysterious, alluring
and, ultimately, a fantasy.
Director Jean-Claude Thibaut is
fascinated with the search for this elusive creature,
portraying her in different guises–temptress,
sylph, goddess, movie star—
in his sensuous short films and commercials.
Listing Fellini and Yves Saint Laurent as influences,
Thibaut has previously created perfume promos for
Armani, Dolce & Gabbana and Pierre Cardin,
and in 2008 founded Advanced Room,
a production company that
specializes in the fashion and luxury industries.
He keeps returning to the fashion world
not for its seasonal trends
but because it allows him to
celebrate beauty for its own sake.
This much is clear from his latest short film
《ANYTIME SOON》
Set in the Tin Hau temple in Hong Kong
a working shrine, where
“incense ash kept dropping onto the clothes,” Thibaut says,
the film stars one of the city's rising stars,
Shawn Yue,
fresh from the set of John Woo’s latest
swords-and-daggers epic,
《Reign of the Assassins》.
Yue plays a film director suffering from
the disjunction between the real world a
nd the universe he constructs for his films,
inhabited as it is by impossibly perfect women
(typified here by model Cara G).
The mood of Anything Soon was partially
inspired by the costumes,
which Thibaut sourced from
the classic Parisian fashion house Hermès—
he describes it all as “a bit Gatsby.”
Thibaut works from the premise that
wardrobe comes first:
“You can’t choose the actors,
and then afterward the fashion for them.
In fact, you have to do it
the opposite way around.”
Music comes courtesy of
Chinese classical musician Bei Bei
and London-based producer Shawn Lee,
whose collaborative album 《Into the Wind》
was released earlier this year on Ubiquity Records.
