Cats Park - In My Room ( Dir : Valery Nevin ) 2014

Duo rock/pop indé venu de St Petersbourg .... le son, l'ambiance est très agréable ainsi que le chant mais c'est surtout l'extrême qualité des images de ce clip qui impressionne ... le cadrage, la lumière, aussi bien que les ralentis, tout est superbe ... un vrai chic clip !

Chaka Khan - Hello Happiness ( Dir : Sam Pilling ) 2019

Enfin ! .... Après des mois quasiment sans clip regardable,  une belle reconstitution années 70 ( genre Blackexploitation, ça plaira à Tarantino ) avec plusieurs histoires en parallèles sur quelques minutes ... et bien sûr, sur le bon funk classique de Chaka Khan qui décidément revient pleine de sève !

The Chemical Brothers - Free Yourself ( Dir : DOM&NIC ) 2018

Les Frères Chimiques restent dans leur zone de confort mais comme tout ce qu'il font est quand même très " jouissif " et leur savoir-faire jamais pris en défaut, pardonnons-leur le peu de nouveauté.
Quand au clip, on peut lui faire la même critique mais qu'est-ce que c'est plaisant ! En ces temps de rock un peu moribond par déshérence et désintérêt de beaucoup de jeunes pour le genre, ne boudons pas notre plaisir, des machines oui mais des rockeuses !

The Carters ( Beyonce & Jay-Z ) - Apeshit ( Dir : Ricky Saiz ) 2018

... inévitable ( à moins d'être berger dans la Cordillière des Andes ... et encore ...) .... pour la beauté du Louvre et ses œuvres splendides, trésors de l'humanité toute entière, le charisme du couple de VIP et le coté très accrocheur du titre il faut l'admettre .... c'est arrogant, un peu racoleur mais costaud niveau production et réalisation du clip au bout du compte ( et si ça peut faire connaître les œuvres au plus jeunes d'entre nous c'est plus qu'OK pour moi )...

Bob Dylan - Not dark yet ( Audiotrack ) 1997 - Last flag flying ( Movie ) 2015 - Didier Balducci - Tourisme Parralèle ( Book ) 2018

Les Chics Clips launches into the cultural prescription .... If you can, watch "Last flag flying", the three main actors do wonders and have rarely been so good, especially Steve Carell, to break your heart & Bryan Cranston , dazzling with energy. During the end credits you will hear "Not dark yet", an essential pearl signed Bob Dylan at its best .... for the literary council, if you know (or even il you don't  ! ) The city of Nice and its surroundings (especially St-Laurent -du-Var) & if you want to laugh endlessly, I recommend the wonderful book of chronicles by Didier Balducci, "Tourisme Parrallèle, Tome 1 - La Côte d'Azur ", published by Editions Mono-Tone.
