Angèle’s magic pizza-fuelled flight

You know you're in for a treat when a film starts with a pizza slice detaching itself from its circular host and flying freely in the air. 

An action that’s sonically interpreted with a cool Alien-esque soundscape of squishy, cheesey pizza-disengaging noises. 

Directed by Aube Perrie, and produced by Wanda and Mynd, the highly enjoyable promo depicts Angèle escaping from the pressures of fame by consuming a transformative magic slice which then turns her into a superhero-astronaut, free to fly around the city. 

This is the second collaboration between the artist and the director, who previously directed the video for her song, La Thune. 

Perrie gives a colourfully account of his inspiration for Libre: “So you’re enjoying a holiday in New York, and there is an ad on a bus with your face on it... But there is a penis drawn on that ad – and this penis on your face makes you want to be as far away as possible from the tons of unasked-for swirling penises of the world... So, you go on the moon ‘cos that’s pretty far away. But it’s not like, THE moon, it’s more like a John Dorian from Scrubs classic daydream; it’s more of the moon coming to earth shaping an alternative environment around you.”

Quite so.
