In Crocodile Inside we feel the tension of a couple tearing each other apart, as the tough love they share is pushed to the edge of rupture. Symbolising the rift that’s created between the two lovers, their apartment cracks at every word too many. Ultimately, they realise they have gone too far and, in a pure moment of cinema, decide to come back to one another.

Comment from D&AD Community

  • Lacoste's Crocodile Inside shows a beautifully destructive and physical manifestation of a couple’s fight, in which the production design plays a prominent role in creating a very appropriate and dynamic theatre for this highly emotional play.

    Jules Tervoort, Managing Director / Co-Founder, The Panics
  • VFX work varied widely, however stayed quite classical with an eye on vintage stylism. The work was largely to the benefit of narrative, and the narratives were strong, based around human experience and empathy. I look for innovation either in theme or in craft – how best to serve the narrative and move the direction along using the most effective and adapted tools to do so. Seamless VFX, of course, is always a plus, and a rationale around image-building in post that less is more. 'Lacoste' was to me the piece that was closest to excellence, although the story and style remained classical. Nothing groundbreaking in terms of ideas and direction, but all masterfully put together.
