Jim Jenkins of O Positive directed this spot which shows a groom chasing and about to beat up his best man, until the latter explains that the writing will wash right off since it’s water soluble. The camera then reveals the “Just Married” written on the rear window of the groom’s beloved Jetta.
Gathering himself, the groom–a bit sheepish and embarrassed for displaying his obsession with his car–rejoins his bride as they wave to wedding attendees. That’s until an elderly woman throws rice towards them, hitting his Jetta. This sets off the groom once again as a voiceover intervenes: “Drive a car you’re crazy about–the Volkswagen Jetta.”

Q: What is it about him that keeps bringing you back?
DAFOE: Well, if it's good, you come back. When I saw "The Witch," I thought, "Wow, this is a film about a period that I'm not particularly knowledgeable about, but I enter it so easily. This is relevant. It's rooted. It's my story. I'm with these people."
That's quite an incredible trick because a lot of period films, they're always pointing to themselves. They're always sending messages. They're always showing. This had a kind of energy and the kind of physicality and sensuality that I thought, "Who does this? I gotta see this guy." And then I had a wonderful experience in "The Lighthouse" and I played a part that was really fun in "The Northman."
