Cate Blanchett’s face is warped, changed and rearranged in the haunting new video for Massive Attack’s “The Spoils,” featuring Hope Sandoval.
Directed by John Hillcoat, the clip features Blanchett’s head rotating against a black background as Sandoval’s lithe voice drifts over Massive Attack’s brooding production. At first, the actress undergoes a simple hairstyle or makeup change, but soon, her whole face is cast in plaster, as its skin peels off and transforms into a stone statue.
