William Baker, Kylie Minogue’s influential creative director for many years, and now working with the Killers, makes a significant step as a music video director with this blissful dream of a video for new pop star Nuuxs.
The video for Real Love (from her Pearl EP), in which Nuuxs and pals take a trip to the country on a beautiful English summer’s day, and pair off with each other, was inspired by Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides and Ryan McGinley’s photography – with a nod to the eroticism of Bertolucci’s The Dreamers.
It’s also the first result of Baker’s signing as director to new production outfit, Iron Age Pictures, set up by producer Matthew Clyde.
