Lana Del Rey, who recently became the face of H&M, has followed her Kennedy-inspired A$AP Rocky video collaboration with another set of visuals likely to set people talking. The video (via the Hairpin) for Born to Die‘s lovelorn, stuttering “Summertime Sadness” has a weathered, film-like look that recalls the singer and songwriter’s breakout “Video Games” video. More provocative, though, is the hint of romance-gone-sour between Del Rey and the character played by actress Jaime King, whose husband Kyle Newman directs with fellow filmmaker Spencer Susser. Because this is a Lana Del Rey video, it’s not spoiling anything to say there’s a Thelma and Louise-like twist.
