Lana Del Rey - National Anthem (Dir. Anthony Mandler)
An Anthony Mandler video I was able to sit through! It's not amazing, but the 8/16mm "home movie" aesthetic is impressively executed, and there's some cool shit in here.
I like A$AP Rocky, but lol. Not as trill as they wanted that idea to come off.
An Anthony Mandler video I was able to sit through! An Anthony Mandler video for an artist I like!
There are so many Mandler videos that are better than this.
There's something fascinating about her...and I apologize for using "..." cause I know it's a no-no on antville.
Would love to see a Mandler video better than this. Actually, I liked parts of the 'You Lost Me' video he did for Xtina, too.
He depends on the same broad, generic emotions in almost every video (translation: lots of handheld & slo-mo shots of vegetation and people rubbing themselves/each other). And a good drinking game for him would be to take a shot every time he opens a video not with the song, but some sort of room-ambience/vacuum sound montage.
I'm really just having fun - if I had to make as many videos as he has, I'd probably be doing the same shit over and over again, too.
i really liked it, it has alot of nice bits and good acting from not such a great actress, nice emotion, gentle framings, emotion, i felt he went on a limb here guys give it up fot the guy diane martel
Diane Martel? Seriously?
When someone shows some growth try being positive ! It's a good thing - there is some nice feeling here that we have not seen from mr mandler :) I need to grow I feel like crap about my exicution lately - did a coke spot I'll post but been very lazy / stuck / disconnected - writing two scripts so that's a different discipline - but I would like to do some videos that I'm proud of soon -
Does anyone else find the Kennedy assasination stuff in very bad taste?
Next video will she be Yoko running down the stairs of the Dakota in slow motion?
How about a dance routine on top of a cgi World Trade Centre, when the planes crash in the middle 8 it will really emphasis hopw sad the song is.
