Ho trovato questo vecchio articolo che parla del video di "Rain":
From the Los Angeles Times, July 28, 1993:
Madonna Redone: The chameleon takes on yet another persona with her latest video, "Rain," from the "Erotica" album. Because the song is a gentle, sad-sweet tune, there was no room for loud platinum blondes, martyrs, silver-screen sex goddesses or '70s disco queens.
"Madonna was at a loss on this one because it was very romantic," says Mark Romanek, the video's director. "I came up with the basic idea of setting it in Tokyo and showing the film crew. It was very Zen, very stripped away. She was this accessible, vulnerable creature surrounded by the high-tech and the global."
Madonna's look in this one is striking. A wig provides a waif-like cap of short black hair with spiky bangs. Special film makes her blue eyes appear a startling azure and her makeup is porcelain-doll perfect in velvety peaches and pinks. The delicate colors of makeup are so important that the director resorted to advance screen tests to make sure everything worked.
One other change: "I wanted her to have eyebrows back," Romanek says. They've been virtually invisible in her recent videos.
Inspirations for Madonna's total look included Paris in the '40s, cabaret singer Edith Piaf and ingenues in general. London stylist David Bradshaw, brought in minimalist black clothes by Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons, which enhanced the video's Zen mood, and the finale's ethereal white Vivienne Westwood dress that any jeune fille would love. |
