Obsessed At Heart
</hdr>
<body>
<p> Each of the four 30-second black-and-white spots interprets
a ruinous relationship from famous romance novels: a woman
fondling her absent lover's belongings, a man rendered
sleepless by the image of an inaccessible beauty. They all
capture the essence of one emotion: obsession. When it came to
updating the weird yet popular Obsession fragrance ads, Calvin
Klein was reluctant to tamper with perfection. He wanted the
new ads to maintain their mystique, along with an element of
romance. A tall order, but Klein went to the king of weird
himself, David Lynch. From his soap noir TV show, Twin Peaks,
to his bizarre film Wild at Heart, Lynch's resume seemed suited
to the task. Twin Peaks fans will be delighted to see that Lara
Flynn Boyle and James Marshall, two of the show's principal
actors, are cast in the commercials as well.
