'The Lady is Dead' directed by Roy Raz

Song: 'The Lady is Dead' by The Irrepressibles.
Director: Roy Raz (http://www.facebook.com/raz.roy) of PAG Films (Check out their PAG Films YouTube Channel)

The music is great but I really enjoy the visual asthetic. Roy Raz has become a favourite based on this.  The white somewhat-limbo background is great.  But what he was going for... is it a commentary on gay culture like some have supposed or even on STI's?

When I watch it, I'm left feeling kind of lost, or at a loss... with a sense of hopelessness teven. It definitely evokes an emotional reaction.  Whether intentional or not, with the tennis of the organ and the touching of transmission of the black pain, or even the transmission of black between the three guys, it seems to indicate an STI message and even conveys the hopelessness via the gaze of the heavily made up actor.

Either way.  I'm a fan.
