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.”

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 ❤️.

[@charlesm835]

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.

[@GamerWyfe4Lyfe]

Wow, just beyond words and accolades. This is truly stunning!! Your soul and unbelievable gift for music are some of the greatest of all time. Thank you, thank you, for sharing this masterpiece with us 🙌🙌💜💜

[@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 ❤
