For his album listening party last summer, Kanye West and editor Derrick Lee made a series of mash-up videos, with each song taking on a new context with its cinematic counterpart. The rhythm of West's lyrics in this video becomes akin to the the lushly romantic and melancholic world of Wong Kar Wai's sci-fi dreamscape "2046." His fan-like love for Asian popular culture, nostalgic idea of the future, and eye-popping visuals are more concrete and passionate here than in some of his other videos. For more, click here.
p.s., What happened with "My Blueberry Nights"? It's unfortunate that the few international auteurs with current releases (Michael Haneke, Susanne Bier, Olivier Assayas) have yet to connect to an American audience. Fernando Meirelles, perhaps you can make things better.
