FUCKING DOWN - Fatal Tiger
Fucking Down is latest music video directed by Spanish filmmaker Amanda Lago for musician Fatal Tiger. The video explores the struggle we face in accepting ourselves by portraying and engaging with the most extreme aspects of our personality. Produced by Lapiscina.
Set in a futuristic dystopian era with a strong retro aesthetic, Fucking Down presents us with
several women of different ages surrounding the singer in a somber hotel room. Though similar in
appearance, each reflects a unique trait spanning across the whole spectrum of human emotions.
From playful and kind to brutal and fierce, the singer finds herself at their complete mercy with
almost no control over their actions.
A carefully constructed and purposefully repetitive choreography illustrates this scenario, with each
cycle featuring slightly different movements - some more exaggerated and violent and some more
restrained and controlled. This reiteration gives the protagonist the chance to react differently each
time and learn more about herself, leading her to predict patterns in her own behaviour and
gradually accept herself.
“I wanted to recreate a chaotic
environment, in which emotions and feelings are presented through an almost delirious dance. We
live in an era in which we obsess over how others perceive us. This has led us to meticulously
curate the way we present ourselves to the world, setting highly unrealistic expectations while still
trying to come across as authentic Fucking Down is an interpretation of how this dynamic affects
us, expressed through a visual orgy of senses in what becomes an ongoing and vicious journey in
understanding and accepting ourselves”
Fucking Down is the second production directed by Lago in collaboration with Fatal Tiger. Lago’s
previous works have won awards internationally, including Best Song Soundie 2017, and have
been been selected across several international film festivals, including Berlin Fashion Film
Festival, Fashion Film Festival Milano, LA Fashion Film Festival and Video Art and Experimental
Film Festival in New York.
