Reel love: Alex Lahey gets cinematic in the video for ‘Wes Anderson’

Yep, it’s a clip that could have come straight from a movie by Wes himself.

31st January 2017

Aussie Alex Lahey might have gone to ‘B-Grade University’, but she’s still acing film studies.

She’s got a new video for ‘Wes Anderson’, directed by Jam Nawaz, and you can’t really have a clip to a song that namechecks one of the most visually recognisable directors of our time without giving a few nods here and there.

And so, we get a funny little love story between Alex and a plank of wood with googly eyes (because googly eyes!) as they go on picnics, have a coffee date, head to the record shop, take a spin on the lake and relax on the beach as the sun sets. Aww. It’s all shot with the type of colour, wide-angle lenses and back-and-forth motions that Wes favours in his own movies, just making it all the sweeter.
