lana del rey - tropico (short film)
directed by anthony mandler, this 27 minute short is something to check out if only for the audacity of it all. it's all highly pretentious, but at least you get to hear three songs (body electric / gods and monsters / bel air) amidst all this!

[all i want to know is what was everyone on while making this weirdly hypnotic destructive addictive love story on repeat video? director alma har'el is an award winning doc filmmaker who developed the concept of the video (shot for only 10,000 USD) with the very naked shia labeouf. it's NSFW, so watch at your own discretion]
