Canadian filmmaker Jonathan Desbiens aka Jodeb has directed this intense, increasingly disturbing short film and music video for French producer Point Point's Life In Grey. 

Posturing at first as a dance film, or perhaps a love story between a dance tutor and her student - its beautifully shot by Kristof Brandl in the fashionable 1:1 ratio – Life In Grey soon turns into a story of darkness and horror that can make a viewer jaw-clenchingly queasy.

The film starts with a dance rehearsal where a young, lynx-eyed dance teacher attends closely over a group of limber female dancers. Then it cuts to the whole group, including the teacher, bonding at a lakeside house, and the teacher's role in the subsequent partying revealing her as a sexual predator. But what happens next is a shock - the teacher has planned a spectacular choreography of death, using the girls as her peons. 

Not so much blurring as removing the lines of what's real and what's imagined, its a notable change of style from Jodeb's previous music video work. He told i-D, "[It's] a narrative about the Y generation, about how people can become desperate about creating the perfect piece of work, the ultimate fulfillment in the eyes of others. The obsession of a promised, expected fulfilling life."
