I recently rediscovered this video and was excited to do so. I am a bit of a Sophie Ellis-Bextor fan - her music's okay, her face slays me - and I was as enthralled watching it this time around as the first. This video is stunning, so beautifully shot and framed, at one and the same time evoking both Vogue Italia and, essentially, every single weepy, melodramatic, girly fantasy of love gone wrong. A bit indulgent in its sweeping photography, maybe, but even in that it's divinely overwrought.
That's Sophie Muller right? All her videos seem to have that soft focus vintage feel to them. Lovely to look at but just a wee on the over dramatic side no? :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a little too beautiful. You're right. You can't tell whether it's a good or bad thing.
