Synopsis

Set against a remote country estate, Alison Goldfrapp moves through a dreamlike landscape where memory, desire, and fantasy overlap. She encounters three nude figures who appear less like ordinary people than fragments of a half-remembered past. Their strange games, gestures, and moments of intimacy create an atmosphere that is sensual, mysterious, and slightly unsettling. Shot in stark black and white, the film unfolds like an elusive memory rather than a conventional narrative, leaving the relationship between Alison and the figures deliberately open to interpretation.

Factoids & Trivia

• "Drew" premiered on July 15, 2013, the same day Goldfrapp shared the film online. It was the first visual piece connected with the album "Tales of Us."

• The clip was filmed in black and white. The visual approach was intended to make the setting feel less real and more like a dreamscape.

• The video's original creative idea was described as a lesbian serial-killer story set on a beach. That concept eventually developed into a broader series of five interconnected films based on characters from "Tales of Us."

• The completed "Tales of Us" project became a 30-minute film anthology featuring the characters Stranger, Laurel, Jo, Drew, and Annabel. The stories explore love, loss, madness, passion, and identity.

• Alison Goldfrapp and Lisa Gunning developed the film series together. The production began as a project for one short film, but expanded into five films despite the budget remaining largely unchanged.

• The video was produced by Stephanie Zari, with cinematography by Brian Strange.

• The song's cinematic character was central to the visual treatment. Goldfrapp's album-era work drew on the atmosphere of classic film scores and character-driven storytelling rather than conventional pop-video spectacle.

• The anthology received a theatrical screening in selected cinemas on March 4, 2014, allowing the five videos to be experienced as one connected work.
