Check out this ace music video inspired by the films of Sofia Coppola

From her use of nat­ur­al light­ing and soft pas­tel hues to recur­ring themes of ennui and escape, Sofia Coppola’s dis­tinct aes­thet­ic has become ingrained in the minds of a gen­er­a­tion of artists and film­mak­ers. One such artist is Noah Sacré, aka Speel­burg, an up-and-com­ing Amer­i­can-Bel­gian musi­cian whose lat­est release takes its styl­is­tic cue from three of the director’s best-loved works.

As you can prob­a­bly guess from his stage name, Sacré is obsessed with movies, and he weaves this pas­sion into this short pro­mo­tion­al video for ​‘Screen­er Sea­son’, which he direct­ed and stars in. The sin­gle is tak­en from Speelburg’s upcom­ing sopho­more album ​‘Char­ac­ter Actor’, which curi­ous­ly is being released before his debut LP.

On the mak­ing of the video, Speel­burg had this to say:

“Every year between ear­ly-Jan­u­ary and mid-Feb­ru­ary, many of the advanced copies of movies that are up for award con­sid­er­a­tion are leaked online. This is known as screen­er sea­son. Often times, this means peo­ple get to watch Gold­en Globe and Oscar nom­i­nat­ed movies on their lap­tops, while those movies are still play­ing in the the­atre. What a world!

“Screen­er Sea­son (the song) is about movie mak­ing, it’s about being com­pared to your famous father and colour grad­ing and it men­tions Sofia Cop­po­la in the open­ing line (because she’s the best). I got to direct the video myself. We remade three of Sofia Coppola’s best movies: Marie Antoinette, Vir­gin Sui­cides and Lost in Translation.”
