This Movie


Is stated to be the basis of Milla's music video, the "Gentleman Who Fell", do the lyrics fit with the story too or is it just the video footage that is based upon the movie?

Good question. The video is clearly an homage to Deren's film, but I'm not certain how precisely fitting the lyrics are. The song does seem to be about a woman's dark frustration in regard to her relationships with men--so, in terms of tone, it does, I think, lend itself well to "Meshes"-like visuals. I've reprinted the lyrics below. :)

Milla Jovovich "Gentleman Who Fell" lyrics

Reaching over
life to life
feeling sugared skin
my poor baby
kissed him so
to ashamed to lift his chin

a voice is speaking
he's the prophet
blinded by the light
a heart is breaking
I can hear it
dropped when gone beyond my sight

hey there, Mr. Talk Too Much
what's in store for us now?

I don't know how to speak to you
I don't know how to trust you
I don't kow how to live for you
I don't know how to love you
the gentleman who fell before the court

I feel your closeness
like a shotgun
a chill within my soul
I touch your finger
know your darkness
your passion takes its' toll

can't see that this talk is cheap
let the suffering go
