Del Rey is a favorite flavor of the day (both meanings) with her archaic aesthetic. Check out the video for “Video Games” by clicking her face above.
This impressionistic / collage-y style of visual storytelling is something I’ve been noticing more and more recently. Currently my favorite example of this is Terrence Malick’s film “Tree of Life.” In fact, for me, there are a lot of mental associations between Del Rey and TOL.
More on that film in a future post.
