Jay Z and Beyoncé are sharing some of the visuals that appeared on screens during the On The Run tour as a trilogy of short films called Bang Bang. Directed by New York-based filmmaker and photographer Dikayl Rimmasch, and inspired by French new wave cinema and Bonnie and Clyde, the black and white shorts give us a brief look at the couple sharing some intimate moments, ending on an a more ominous note. The music is part of Ennio Morricone’s “Il Vizio di Uccidere,” from the classic score for the Clint Eastwood Western For A Few Dollars More.
Watch the video above, and head to Nowness for an interview with director Rimmasch, who explains the ideas behind the short films and shares the On The Run concept that Jay Z explained to him:
We’re not trying to do this literally, it’s not that we’re Bonnie and Clyde. We’re on the run from everything. On the run from becoming a cliché. On the run from doing the same thing again.
