Stella Artois - FlowersNewest Review: ... mildly amusing and novel, and that's as much as I can say about it really. It reminds me a bit of the Renault 'Papa/Nicole' ads, just because it's set in France and has that kind of feel to it. I love the idea that it's subtitled, I know it's a trivial thing, but for an instant it seems like you're watching a French flick, and it is quite beautifully shot and ... more |

I'm a bit neutral on this ad for Stella Artois, as I don't particularly like or dislike it. It sells the product and it's kind of mildly amusing and novel, and that's as much as I can say about it really. It reminds me a bit of the Renault 'Papa/Nicole' ads, just because it's set in France and has that kind of feel to it.

The ads have a classic and timeless feel and although the dialogue is still in French you don't get the impression that the ads have been shoved on intact to ... Read the complete review

A beautifully shot and recreation of rural France (presumably early 20th century), this is the one with the flower seller who wants to drink some Stella Artois (one in a series of four, if I remember correctly). The flower seller parks his cart of flowers and stops outside a pub and addresses the landlord, he allows him into the pub and he sits there. The landlord goes behind the bar and the flower seller is rooting for change in his pockets. The soundtrack is put to good use as it conveys the mood very well. We then see the next shot with the flower seller on his own supping some Stella. And the landlord is laughing. Gradually, it is revealed that ... Read the complete review

My wife thinks that the man in this advert is very much like me and this is what I would do. Well shes right. After running around all day like that I would Drink the pint I can feel it going down now even. Its just lucky that he gets a foil in the preist clever thinking that man. My wife never tires of this advert and giggles every time its on. The only time I have drunk stella is abroad because its one of the few beers that you find you can trust to do the job. lovely adverts from the way they are filmed but personally not my kind of tipple. ...
