videoArab Strap 'Fable Of The Urban Fox' by Rose Hendry
Rose Hendry directs an enigmatic film for Arab Strap's Fable Of The Urban Fox. Starring actress Fiona O'Shaugnessy, the video opens with a moment of unhinged violence - the results of which are kept off-screen until the end - and charges into a frantic exploration of one woman's attempts to cover up her crimes... and forgive herself for her actions. Shot mostly from a single vantage point with a perpetually rotating camera, the video matches an unsettling serenity with a sense of danger and risk, creating a divergent, contradictory mood throughout.
