Dream Wife today share the video for ‘Lolita’, directed by Sam Boullier and Eleanor Hardwick. Premiered on The FADER, the video sees the band explore a favourite genre, horror. As the band explain:
“The idea for the video came from a distaste toward the classic virginal female victim narrative, the damsel in distress scenario. The intention was to make something both playful and angry, toying with many conventional horror movie moments in an unconventional, empowering, silly and scary way. Using a found footage aesthetic Sam and Eleanor wove together a series of tableaus in which we inhabit roles of the good and the bad, the villain and the victim, satirizing the archetype of the female horror victim.”
