THE
AD AND THE EGO
Harold Boihem |
1997 | USA | 57 min | DVD
Witty, slick, sexy
and sarcastic, shameless and in your face,
The Ad and the Ego takes on advertising
on its own terms. Intercutting thousands
of contemporary and classic television
commercials with insights by Stuart Ewen,
Jean Kilbourne, Sut JhalIy and others,
this film scrutinizes late 20th century
American society and its prime inhabitant,
Consumer Man. You will never look at an
ad the same way again after viewing what
critics are calling “the first comprehensive
documentary on the cultural impact of
advertising in America.”
