FLASH FRIDAY: Lady Gaga Marries The Night
by Pat Cerasaro
- Dec 2, 2011
The premiere of a new Lady Gaga music video is always a cause celebre for entertainment lovers of any sort, but earlier today Gaga gave us a truly theatrical - and totally, wildly, adorably surreal - early Christmas treat of epic proportions in the form of the short film "Marry The Night". Part TOMMY, part David Lynch-ian fever dream, part throwback music video, with the rest unmistakably, unquestionably and undoubtedly all Gaga. Directed by Gaga herself, the "Marry The Night" music video puts into question the term itself - much like Kanye West's exquisite mini-movie musical treatment of eight of his songs from his Grammy-nominated opus MY BEATIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY in the form of the "Runaway" short film/music video from late last year - and, now, once again, Gaga has redefined not only the genre she is working in, but the entire music and theatre game itself. Daring, edgy, avant garde and more bizarre than anything you are likely to see at any multiplex this weekend - let alone on sweet, safe Broadway - the "Marry The Night" film is nothing short of Gaga firing on all axels - in this case, literally - and setting the stage afire with her fierce, determined conviction to following her own oh-so-idiosyncratic vision through to its ultimate - and oft-ugly; and, just as often, gorgeous - end. Actually, ends are what this video is about in many ways - from asses to hosannas. This isn't your mama's music video - or Madonna's, either (a trait which has been ascribed to Gaga videos past) - but what it is is the most over-the-top theatrical and unabashedly excessive - and best - music-related film of the year. Just don't call it a music video.
