KnockturnaLIST: The Music Videos of 2017 that We Loved

INDIE/ALTERNATIVE

Charlotte Gainsbourg – Deadly Valentine

Album: Rest (2017)
Director: Charlotte Gainsbourg

“Deadly Valentine” reads as a narrative of young love turned old. The indie-style cinematography is nostalgic and absolutely lovely. The pair of lovers run towards the church for the majority of the video, and when they finally have arrived, they are old, and recount the passage of their love. The video itself is absolutely heartwarming.  The young Charlotte wears a veil as a child, and throughout the film, to symbolize the destiny of their love since their youth. Dev Hynes is cast to play Charlotte’s love/husband.
