Kate Beckinsale does Anna Karina

Here's how it works. A magazine like Mean wants to promote its new issue, which features Kate Beckinsale on the cover channeling 60s French cinema icon Anna Karina. So the marketing people create a catchy YouTube video of the cover shoot and seed the press with it so we'll post it on our blogs. Beckinsale is a perfectly lovely and capable young actress, but this video annoyed me. Simply: I prefer the original.
