Florence and the Machinereleased The Odyssey directed by Vincent Haycockviathe bands websiteon Monday. The 47-minute art film strings togethervideo clips released in 2015 of songs from the bands latest albumHow Big, How Blue, How Beautiful,including What Kind of Man, St. Jude, Delilah, Ship to Wreck, and Queen of Peace. The latest installment includes the final chapter set to Third Eye.
I was talking to [Vince]about the record and the car crash of a relationship breakup I was going through,singer Florence Welch said in a statement. The film invokes a dual sense of richness and austerity that reflects the central themes of How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful.The highs and the lows of love and performance, how out of control I felt, the purgatory of heartbreak, andhow I was trying to change and trying to be free, Welch said.
The film is titled The Odyssey because it follows Welchs cinematic journey through the storm of heartbreak, said Haycock. Like the layers of Dantes purgatory, each song or chapter represents a battle that Florence traversed that embodied each song or story, he said. The pair began working on the projectover a year and a half ago at the Chateau Marmont in Beverly Hills, according to Welch. The pair discussed the making of the film at length in a Facebook Q&Aposted on the bands page.
