Spike Jonze & Kanye West - 'We Were Once A Fairytale'

The highly anticipated project between Hollywood director Spike Jonze and rapper/diva Kanye West was released over the weekend.

The ambitious 11-minute short film, entitled We Were Once A Fairytale, is a beautifully-shot video with a plethora of dark themes, symbolism, and, in an eerie fashion, is a case of life imitating art for the Louis Vuitton Don.

Shot in January and premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival during the summer, this is the second collaboration between Jonze, whose big-budget adaptation of Maurice Sendak's children's book Where the Wild Things Are premiered in American cinemas this weekend, and superstar rapper West. (Jonze directed the video for Kanye West's single 'Flashing Lights' in 2007)
