First of all, I really like this video but think there was a lot of room for improvement. A few people have commented that she is wearing too much make up. One of the things I loved about the early years was she wore so little make up. She has such natural beauty, she doesn't need any. She still has that kind of beauty. But here she is portraying a person who does wear a lot of make up, but even for this role, it does seem a little excessive. There is a part where she is out doors in the fur coat and she blinks and it made me wonder if it was the eye make up that made her blink. I agree with HR087 that in the scene where she is wearing the black hat in the corridor, she looks stunning, would've like to seen more of that and there are other parts of the video where she looks awesome, such as in the black turtleneck. The main problem I have with this video is the fact that it's supposed to be about Edie leaving New York city and her freinds. If that's what it is about, then they should have gone to New York city, maybe central park to film those scenes. If you're going to tell a story of a foreign character, and use a foreign language in parts of it in the process, then you should go to the trouble of going to where the story happened. There's two other minor problems I have with the video. In the outdoor parts where Roman said ...images moving around, unclear........well I thought it was a little bit too unclear where she is hugging a friend. Their image is just too muddled, would've of like to seen a somewhat clearer image of her hugging him. The other minor criticism is the short part where I guess they are showing a little part of her leg. It's obvious they didn't want to be trashy, too Mylene Farmer, as some people might say, by showing too much leg, but I thought they didn't go far enough, so you had some doubt as to whether it was a leg you were seeing or not. I really enjoy the song Les Collines, I really enjoy this video, but as I said about the song, with a few more lines of lyrics, I think it would have had a lot more potential, so too with the video, a little bit of improvement, especially with the outside scenes and this would of had the potential of being a top notch video. As it stands, I think it will still do very well. Last edited by Scruffydog777; 03-21-2010 at 07:38 AM..

Well, I could agree with some of this, such as the eye make-up thing, but maybe I stopped caring as much and then it's easier to just accept it.

As for going to New York, how much time and money do they have to do this? That's a serious trip to make just to toss some authenticity into it. Alizée has to get her daughter to school in the morning. It's a bit out of her way to go to New York. I'm not sure that some of you have yet figured out what level of production we're dealing with here. This ain't no Hollywood blockbuster. Quote:

 I don't remember even seeing that!  As the weeks go by, I find myself liking this song more. It's very catchy. Even the repetitions become perhaps somewhat hypnotic and aren't really a problem, even if not ideal, especially with the video. I suppose that's what they were going for. I wonder about remixes and concert performances. It seems like, songs like this, they could really scale up a lot for a concert performance, if you know what I mean.

I agree that shooting some of the scenes in NY would have been a really great thing to do and I truly wish they could have. I wouldn't doubt Alizée would have liked to do that too. Unfortunately, I would suspect it's really all about the amount of money they had available and budgeted for the video.
If Alizée was a top ten American pop star they would have spared little or no expense for the video. Or even like many of Mylene's videos. Unfortunately, I don't think Alizée has that kind of money behind her right now. If UEDS proves to be a big financial success, she might be able to do a lot more in the future.

I guess I'll be the first to say that this song has a little Britney feel to it and I'm not too crazy about the video, or her excessive use of makeup here. Although I do understand the part she's playing in the video and I think she plays it well as always. I like Limelight more then this song, even though the lyrics may not be as meaningful. I like the rest of the music in her album though, and the more I listen to this song the more I like it. I think this gender of music suits her voice well, all the more dreamy... ♥

All those little manoeuvres I did out of things that were happening in my life that upset me"... Edie Sedgwick Here's a couple of photos I dug up from Danny Fields' archive, he apparently shared a loft with Edie back in the days. Does she remind you of anyone... ??
