Colonel Blimp

A contemporary take on Lady Macbeth, summoning up her demons. A mix of live action and animation.

The Actor was inspired by the late 2000s boom of US screen-acting and method-acting seminars, which Robbie Williams alludes to in the lyrics to the eponymous track. Remember... it's not acting it's reacting!

Tuning into some foreign channels you never know what you'll find. On one such show the presenter introduces a live magic trick where a man is going to be cut in half by a woman. Not only that though, he will be cut with a chainsaw. Not only that though, she will be wearing a blindfold while performing the trick. However it is not quite as professional as it seems.

Björk is crouched in a womb-like Icelandic cave, throwing her body against the stones that surround her. Slowly, she starts dancing triumphantly through corridors of black volcanic rock. This MoMA-commissioned film was directed by visual guru Andrew Thomas Huang and filmed over three days in Björk’s native Iceland. In the film, her intimate, one-on-one performance embodies the grueling post-heartbreak healing process, augmented by Huang’s stunning VFX.
