If Where The Wild Things Are turned out a disappointing collaboration between filmmaker Spike Jonze and essayist Dave Eggers, than feast your eyes on this short film collision between Kanye West and Sofia Coppola’s ex husband.
“We Were Once A Fairytale” stars a strung out, intoxicated Kanye West as he verbally attacks party guests and waitrons while he meanders through the shadows of a nameless lounge that plays mostly his own music. After a casual sex romp with a stranger in a back room, Kanye wakes up to find himself passed out on the bathroom floor in cesspool of his own rose petal vomit. And then the film gets a little crazy–but frankly not crazy enough. The last few minutes of the film (where Kanye doesn’t speak) are the film’s best moments and probably the closest to a Jonze-inspired visual world.
