Write a short summary of what happens in the film

The video features Jarvis Cocker as Tip-Top, taking us on a journey through Ennui-sur-Blasé. Along the way we meet the characters of the film and catch glimpses of the plot. We watch as Tip-Top cheerfully uses a floating corpse in a canal as a stepping stone, or dances past Tilda Swinton observing some elderly French gentlemen play pétanque. We climb up and up through the town with the boulangerie delivery vans in a way that seems to move through storeys without ever breaking the shot.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

As the world waited for the release of The French Dispatch, Wes Anderson gathered a small team together to make his first-ever music video to celebrate the feature film’s theme song, Aline. As the film is made in homage to The New Yorker, the artist’s style needed to possess a faint whiff of the magazine’s aesthetic values.
