Amour
Director: Yentl Vlachos
—
Amour (Directed by Yentl Vlachos) is a visually striking and emotionally resonant music video that celebrates love, connection, and self-expression. Set in a bold, red corridor, the video uses contrasting imagery, dual versions of Claude in white and black, to explore themes of duality, choice, and inner conflict.
Through dynamic choreography (by Kirsten de Vos), precise framing, and expressive movement, the video transforms the song into a cinematic journey where vulnerability meets strength, and tension gives way to hope. Every gesture, color, and camera angle amplifies the emotional core of the song, creating a world that is both intimate and universal.
Amour is more than a musical performance; it is a sensory experience that captures the transformative power of love and music. It invites viewers to engage with joy, reflection, and the subtle beauty of connection.
