Summary
Director Samantha Morton brings us The Kills' beautiful new promo for single, 'The Last Goodbye', starring the band's duo of Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince, and commissioned by Fiona Ghobrial at Domino Records
Shot inside a photo booth, this single celebrates the 10th
anniversary of The Kills, and nostalgia is a theme that runs
throughout. Nostalgia for old photo booths and the times spent in
them; nostalgia for their stylised black and white prints;
nostalgia in the lyrics of an ending relationship… and all wrapped
up in Alison's Mosshart alluringly voice and haunting piano
music.
The video was directed by actress-director Samantha Morton and
produced by Juliette Larthe through PRETTYBIRDUK, and 'moving
images' seems like a good way to describe her vision - both
literally and in the emotional sense.
The project was shot on black & white 35mm by Florian
Hoffmeister and graded by our colourist Luke Morrison. Luke
explains the approach taken towards the grade; "With the look we
made it feel as if it was taken from a part in a film. I emphasised
the flashes and gave them a photo booth picture feel with soft
blown out highlights."
