STRANGELOVE ft BELLATRIX – LONELY SOULS by Taz Tron Delix


Directed by Taz Tron Delix, the chaotic movie sees Strangelove combine the anguish that comes from living in a big city, with the uncertainty that pursuing someone you love can generate. The result – a myriad of bewildering images – leaves you breathless.“After a month of micro-dosing LSD we began formulating ideas for the visual aesthetic of Lonely Souls in a pub in Bethnal Green,“ the group told Dummy over email. „We wanted to convey the dizzying turmoil of modern romance and set it against the alienating experience of living in London (or any major city). The result lies somewhere between a bad trip and a feverish hallucination.“
