Le Notaire (2015)
Continuing the “On a souvent tendance à se tromper sur le prix d’une Volkswagen” platform. The notary – the most trusted and sober figure in French civic life – becomes the vehicle for the same punchline: a Volkswagen often costs less than people assume. Different comic character; same precise observation.
Le Pot de Depart (2014)
She’s leaving. Her colleagues have organised the send-off, the speeches have been made, the cake has been eaten. All that’s left is to drive away. The only problem: with Volkswagen’s 0% credit offer running across the entire range, she can afford any model she wants, and she cannot for the life of her decide which one. The film plays out the farewell in real time as her colleagues wait, glasses in hand, while she works through the options one by one. A simple, funny insight: the moment you can have anything is the moment choosing becomes impossible.
The Key (2012)
There is a very simple way to upgrade your choice: ask for a Volkswagen. A father renting a car finds himself at the counter with his wife, kids, luggage and a category B vehicle that is clearly not going to cut it. He politely asks to be upgraded. The agent behind the counter simply flips the key sitting on the desk. The Volkswagen logo appears. Done. No negotiation, no drama, no speech. Just the perfectly devastating logic that a Volkswagen is the obvious upgrade – the one everyone already knows to ask for. Directed by Rudi Rosenberg.
