Synopsis
In a campaign to promote its new 3008 Crossover car, Peugeot-sponsored TV advertisement series ‘Casting Tape’ is based on the concept of a director conducting a casting session for Peugeot. In this clip, shown in two parts, the interviewee is asked to speak Shakespeare’s Hamlet backwards. When, in the second part of the clip, he is shown struggling with this task, the off-screen voice of the director adds: "This is for a Norwegian production".
