The French duo, Scratch Massive, has just shared their moving cinematic music video for “Last Dance.” Written and directed by Jerome de Gerlache, the video is striking in appearance displays the song that comes from Scratch Massive’s forthcoming album Garden Of Love.
The music video begins with a frame of the city lit up at night in neon blues and yellows. Then the frame turns brown on the backdrop of the building where the main character is waiting.
The music video follows a gang in an Asian Metropolis that threatens and invades a man’s home. As they walk through the house, the young man is struck by one thing: a young, beautiful ballerina. He is mesmerized by her poise, her grace, and the way that she dances. With headphones in her ears, she practices her dance in front of floor length mirror in her room. He watches her for a beat and their eyes meet but then he is reprimanded and called to action by the others.
He watches, stunned, as they threaten the man for the money he owes them. The gangsters leave the home and the man with a warning, but the boy can’t forget the girl that he saw. He watches her from the balcony as she dances and dances. He begins to dance too—as he falls in love. Then when he sees her father upset with her, he throws a few punches in the air.
In the video, they invade the home again and this time they shoot the man. The girl was in the room also and they turned a gun on her. But he remembered her and protected her by shooting the other boy that he was with. In the end, they escape together into the city on a motorcycle into light whites and blues again as the music fades.
The music video was a production that involved many people and they are credited in the music video. The video functions as a piece of mini-cinema and the music functions as the backdrop for the action and the romance.
