Watch Justice’s infec­tious­ly sun­ny Thel­ma & Louise inspired video

01 Dec 2016

Words by Josh Hall

Susan Saran­don gets her 90s groove on in the band’s lat­est video.

Amid all the mis­placed 90s nos­tal­gia that’s been going around, one 25-year-old pop cul­ture touch­stone has stood out this year as being ful­ly deserv­ing of a cel­e­bra­to­ry reap­praisal. Elec­tro pop duo Jus­tice know exact­ly what’s up, which pre­sum­ably is why they’ve just dropped an irre­sistibly cool hat-tip to Rid­ley Scott’s clas­sic fem­i­nist road movie from 1991, Thel­ma & Louise.

Direct­ed by Pas­cal Teix­eira, the video to the group’s new sin­gle Fire’, tak­en from their third stu­dio album, apt­ly titled Woman’, sees Susan Saran­don dust off a famil­iar-look­ing mus­cle car (an 1985 Toy­ota RA65 Cel­i­ca, if you’re inter­est­ed) and hit the open road. It’s a sim­ple, infec­tious­ly sun­ny four-minute mar­vel that’s guar­an­teed to make you smile. The song’s not half bad either. Watch it up top and let us know your thoughts @LWLies
