videoMethyl Ethel 'Idée Fixe' by Olivier Groulx
Olivier Groulx's talent for vivid, classically-influenced portraiture gets full scope in the video for Methyl Ethel's gloom-poppy Idée Fixe.It's a dreamlike portrayal of what it's like to be an actress, opening in black-and-white, depicting a young starlet - played by Karis Dawson - in the paparazzi's line of fire. Then it bursts into rich colour and rushes from the movie that she is promoting on the premiere red carpet. Ultimately, the clip never wavers from focussing on the actress's relationship with the camera.
