Another amazing new video from David Bowie! Once again, he’s teamed up with Floria Sigismondi - the same director who did the video for ‘The Stars (Are Out Tonight)’ - and this time Bowie plays a prophet. Gary Oldman co-stars as a priest and Marion Cotillard is the leading lady, portraying a prostitute who develops stigmata. The cinematography and styling in this video is brilliant – so many frames make amazing images in their own right.
Love this demonic nun look – definitely doing something similar for Halloween this year!
When I first saw it, I thought it was a bit of a shame that people are so jaded these days that it probably wouldn’t be recognised as being particularly scandalous. But then I read some headlines about how it had already pissed off some Catholics and I took comfort in the fact that of course religious zealots and Daily Mail readers are still so easy to shock! Normally I would post the video here, but to enjoy it in its full glory you should probably watch it on Vevo – then you don’t have to see an annoying logo, or watch it on a tiny screen. Enjoy!
It’s here! Lana Del Rey’s advert for H&M’s winter range. I’m not sure if this is the advert in full, but it’s certainly a nice little preview, and everything that I expected it to be. Lana Del Rey covers Bobby Vinton’s ‘Blue Velvet’ in a surreal, slightly unnerving Lynchian setting. However, her performance is cut short by a disgruntled midget switching off the music, leaving the audience to giggle at a bemused Del Rey. Pretty cute, and not too overdone – just the right side of strange and enigmatic.

Kubrick’s One-Point Perspective
The editing on this video is fantastic – it’s such an effective and direct way to comment on Stanley Kubrick’s directorial style, and showcases so many gorgeous cinematographic moments in just under two minutes.
Vimeo user Kogonada, who made this video, has used the same technique to analyse the work of Wes Anderson and Quention Tarantino, too. All these videos make for interesting viewing, even if you don’t consider yourself to be much of a film buff.
