Shades Of Cool

Lana Del Rey "Shades Of Cool" (Jake Nava, dir.)

It's hard to pin down what directly influences Lana Del Rey here... One moment we're in a David Lynch fastasy, the next we're in Marilyn Monroe territory, or maybe something a bit closer to Sharon Tate. It's definitely Hollywood and it's definitely noir — and yes, definitely cool — but it's also uniquely Lana Del Rey, even with all the clear, or hazy, precursors.
