Addy Ezzie 2 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 It's not an incredible video, but it's not that bad either imo That being said, this song deserved some epic vid...  I love the ending, when she enters the chapel  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valextra 58 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Why isn't it on Vevo? Â By the way she looks beautiful and I love her attitude on it, but I'm agree that she could have done something better ;) Love the song so much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batwings 12,733 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Having ha Edge of Glory era, I see. Â Seriously, though, I'm pretty disappointed. This is one of my favorite songs on the album, and I thought it deserved a truly cinematic video with a coherent storyline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spock 20,290 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 This was terrible. So disappointed with the Ultraviolence era... who will love me when the night is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haroon 49,685 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I couldn't get through all of this Super disappointed :( I haven't really liked any of the music videos from Ultraviolence so far What happened to videos like Born To Die and Blue Jeans and Ride - and the amazing Tropico? I really don't understand what's happened to her music videos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklistedd 599 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 i mean tropico was fantastic but this is just.................. at least we have shades of cool video  Tropico was bloated garbage. Seriously. Especially the Gods and Monster and Body Electric portions. Just laughably bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FragileLamplite 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I almost lost it at the orange part...overall I'm not to bothered by it, especially considering this isn't even on her VEVO channel. It just seems like something she and Fransesco did in an afternoon because they were bored. You guys don't seriously think this is the video with the professional director and an actual budget, do you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernier 3,786 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 There's simplicity and then there's lack of effort, this seems like the latter imo But I didn't totally hate it Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikvs 2,576 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Uhm, is this a joke? I really love Lana but this is embarrassing. It could have had a lot of better cinematography like the West Coast video or Shades of Cool, but this seems like it was recorded in an old phone with an instagram filter. It doesn't have a concept or anything to make up for it. Awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKANK 14,288 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I don't consider myself a Lana Del Rey fan, but I really appreciate the fact that she doesn't allow the press, critics, fans, or public to dictate how she creates her art. Obviously she knew that this video would "disappoint" people, but she isn't willing to compromise her vision to make other people happy.  I actually really enjoyed this video, and song. It really keeps with Lana's esthetic. I might have to download her new album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't understand what's happened to her music videos  But honestly would high budget hd videos suit Ultraviolence music ? I think this grainy, washed videos suit the music more. Its not about storyline, but more about feelings and impressions She clearly doesnt want videos to distract listeners from the music too much. UV videos just naturally flow with the music and help to depict the atmosphere.  Its also clear that she doesnt have that big support from Interscope anymore. They had problems with UV album. She was made to collab with big names (Greg Kurstin, Paul Epworth). Maybe this 0 budget video filmed with her friend Francesco in Italy and released by Vice (not Vevo) is a big FK to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because we dont understand it doesnt mean the things have no meaning. She clearly makes arts for the sake of it, not to be likeable or understood by masses.  What  I love about the video is that we have the direct view of the camera-holder - her lover. When shes seductively staring at him - shes staring at us. When she is showing her desire by licking his fingers - she is licking our fingers. You gain the direct impression, you can be her cult leader for 4 minutes.  She posted this description with the video pic "Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?". Her character is lost between reality (abusive relationship) and dream (unconditional love between her and her "cult leader"). This clash is represented by a few symbols in the video. Wedding dress, church (the symbol of love, connection etc) X white funeral flowers (the symbol of the death - the end). The hands are depicted in the video in the 2 ways - as symbol of seduction and love by touching your lover X the symbol body parts which make violence when she put her hand around her neck. When you are in abusive relationship, the normally negative things are not seen as negative anymore. Even violence is felt as an act of deep emotion by your lover towards you.  Edited Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
