Delord tells Delord
episode n ° 7
The videoclip of the song “Lola Corre” tells the story of a girl who wants to be a prostitute. Unfortunately it is a profession that is not legal in Italy and also finds itself subjected to violence, struggling between hypocrisy and reality.
At the beginning of the video on a score we read this sentence: “In 1950 violence took shape on the roads of our existence”, words on which I decided to build the video clip.
Lola, the protagonist, is a prostitute and after being raped she falls asleep. She dreams of herself in a hotel, a place she is familiar with having been there regularly for work, but this hotel is different from the usual in fact it is deserted and intrigued she begins to explore it. Enter a room where there is a television on with historical films shot by Pasolini with fragments of interviews on prostitution and the Merlin Law (*).
In the second room he enters, however, a cross-section of the current situation of those who are prostitutes and often work on the streets is represented.
Lola continues to wander around this empty hotel filled with a sense of malaise, but she hears a music, a melody that captures and comforts her and that leads her to another place where she feels safe and protected. The music makes her come back to hope and in the video she represents salvation.
But at a certain point Lola wakes up and returns to the harsh reality full of hypocrisy in which she is forced to live every day.
Videoclip ” Lola Corre “:
(*) Merlin Law: Law of 1958 which sanctioned the closure of brothels and the abolition of the regulation of prostitution in Italy.
