One thing I did not know about Roman Coppola (son of Francis Ford and brother of Sofia) is that he directed a few sequences of Love Actually, or so says Wikipedia. Anyway, I wanted to write about the music video he’s directed for Sebastien Tellier’s track ‘L’amour et la violence’. The video starts off focussing on the singer – for what seems like ages – then suddenly moves to shots of his Paris flat. But that’s it. No bigger focus of the video than the singer and his surroundings. You can either think it’s a bit too simplistic or that it’s very poetic.
And the entire song is composed of these 4 lines:
Dit moi qu’est que tu penses?
de ma vie
du mon adolescencedit moi qu’est que tu penses?
j’aime aussi l’amour et la violence
But the music, the music…is just beautiful.
