Benjamin Clementine - Portraits Of Lovelustreman (Part 1)

Today the critically acclaimed, Mercury Prize winner Benjamin Clementine releases ‘Portraits of Lovelustreman (Part 1)’, an intriguingly beautiful and enigmatic short film based around Benjamin’s lauded latest album And I Have Been. Produced by Preserve Artists, the 25-minute film sees juxtaposing shots of an idyllic, vibrant, stained glass adorned chancel in which Benjamin sits mute, contemplatively in solitary, with a decrepit, bare-boned church, where his story is narrated through emotive presentations of movement via dancers cloaked in navy liturgical vesture.
Speaking about the film, Benjamin explain, “Portraits of Lovelustreman explores survival, marriage, courage, silence, reflections, friendship, self control and love. Filming in 35mm, ensured that most of the takes were shot in one. This created special moments of improvisation, giving freedom to the crew, and brought out a visceral level of authenticity in all of the artists’ performances. Allowing us to take in the questions along with the non-conventional responses to them.”

Yes

[@ovuncerdem7502]

We thank for music. We need good voice, music because of earthquake in Turkey, all of us is very sad.

[@charlesm835]

This is so utterly unique. It's beyond a music video, I'm not even sure what you would call this. Beautiful

[@handypicker]

It makes me think about a piece of theatre !

[@z.o.d.i.a.q4010]

Came across ‘I won’t complain’ recently and I’ve been a fan since...listening to this makes everything around me that’s on fire extinguish...I don’t complain no more Benjamin♥️

[@TheCancerianUniverse]

Thank you for inviting me into your world. It’s Incredibly beautiful. I wanted to escape into a whole new dimension. It actually felt like I did. Every part felt like an emotion, an experience. Like I understood what you meant. The peace and solitude, the acceptance that comes after every scene in your mind. I am just an eyeball capturing the images of your mind and it’s so damn captivating. I am levitated. I can’t get enough. I feel like we’re related. One love ❤️.

Art, always underrated.

[@NS-xt5wv]

This is a brilliant musical video, as everything that Benjamin does, although I will be dishonest if I don’t say that I miss the times when it was only him and piano.

[@ephiuhravenus]

this was breathtakingly beautiful. At the last part, i thought the repeating voice said "if i walk away, if i walk away" repeatedly as in he was contemplating what would happen if he were to, but then the more i listened to it the more it sounded like "just don't walk away, just don't walk away" (which is probably what he is actually saying). The same phrase sounds like the both sides of an inner conflict to me, where at one hand he begs for her lover to stay because it hurts to see her go, and on the other begs for himself to walk away because it hurts to stay with her. This may not be the meaning he intended at all, but for me this ended this beautiful film in a heart wrenching note. I have been listening to his music on and off for years but i think now is the time for me to delve into it deeply ❤

Musicians come and go but Benjamin is the star ✨⭐ am in love with.

One of the Best. AnArtist

Há muitos lugares erguidos no universo artístico e diversos se perdem no exagero ou desejo do choque. Porém a simpliscidade quando bem explorada de modo consciente, dai brota seu exímio sabor, soa ecos eternos. Talvez seja este o lugar onde reside Clementine, um lugar original dentro da simpliscidade, é nesta condição em que se doa por interio. Que primor ter você em nossa era.
