So I was in dance rehearsals for a week, and she was on wires, flying.“It’s very Buster Keaton, Fellini, dreamy.
It was a lot of work. But we wanted to something that’s really impressive instead of leaning into technology all the time.”In the visuals, we see Bridgers sitting on a bench in a clown outfit of her own while reading a newspaper with Healy’s face printed on the cover.
She later joins the band for a performance in the street.Towards the end of the video, Bridgers and Healy – who are close friends and have collaborated previously – both play acoustic guitar and sing the track’s chorus into the same microphone.Bridgers has now shared four colour photos from the ‘I’m In Love With You’ clip that were taken by her partner, Normal People actor Paul Mescal.

Fukada Koji Talks Venice Competition Film ‘Love Life,’ Loneliness and Bitter Little Ironies
Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief The titles of Fukada Koji’s films almost drip with bitter irony. “Sayonara” seemed to be a farewell to human actors. Instead of being harmonious, Cannes Un Certain Regard jury prize-winner “Harmonium” was pitch black and steeped in quiet violence. Fukada’s latest, Venice Film Festival competition title carries the moniker “Love Life.” But its subject matter is loneliness. The story starts out on familiar lines, involving a married couple where suddenly the ex-husband of the wife appears, potentially setting up the melodrama of a triangular relationship. But in Fukada’s hands things are colder and more painful. The newcomer is burdensome, deaf and homeless. His arrival triggers, not love, but fragmentation, individualism and loneliness.
