Justice Unveil NSFW New Video for Latest Single 'Pleasure'
By: Caryn Robbins
Justice have unveiled a brand new, sexually explicit video for their recent single "Pleasure." The video, directed by Alexandre Courtès of Division, portrays two lovers entwined in passion before becoming part of an abstract, cosmic explosion-the product of which leads to the birth of new life.
Alexandre Courtès is a highly-acclaimed artist and director, responsible for seminal visuals such as the video for "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes, the Grammy Award-winning video for U2's "Vertigo" and the design of Daft Punk's iconic helmets. Of the video, Courtès says: "Xavier and Gaspard had a concept in mind of a supernatural love scene: an extrapolation of feelings during sex, a symbiosis. I fell in love with the idea, as I had something similar in mind for a while. So to combine their ideas with mine was great. For a long time, I've wanted to play with strong vivid colors and bright tubes that travel through the bodies of characters...and they liked the idea too. We ended up shooting a bold, sensual sex scene, with lavish colors. Nicolas Loir's lighting really made the scene look amazing and helped the film come together brilliantly. I knew we had to be in the action: to be as close as we could to their faces and skin. Thanks to Nicolas' work, the shoot was less raw, making the end result truly exciting.Watch Justice live at Glastonbury 2017 here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/ec584f/play/adbz3d/p0576kbr
