Lisa Gunning has directed&nbsp;this resonant, heartening&nbsp;story for singer-songwriter John Grant&#39;s Down Here, which follows a young man going through&nbsp;a difficult process of self-identification with considerable&nbsp;dignity - for which he&#39;s ultimately rewarded in delightful&nbsp;fashion.&nbsp;It opens on a distinctly British&nbsp;scene - the young man&nbsp;looking out the window into some&nbsp;typically grim, grey&nbsp;weather. Then he begins to leaf through a catalogue of womens&#39; swimwear - the start of his journey which leads to him confronting social stigma, buying a sequinned swimsuit,&nbsp;and then heading for a local pool, where a&nbsp;synchronised swimming practice is in session.&nbsp;Then&nbsp;he musters&nbsp;up the courage and&nbsp;walks right into the deep end...Lisa Gunning, already a respected features film editor (her credits include Nowhere Boy, Seven Psychopaths), directed an impressive series of videos for the Goldfrapp album Tales Of Us last year. But this is the first time she&#39;s shown a confident command of narrative in a music video, dealing with the&nbsp;subject with both sensitivity and&nbsp;humour. And then delivering an excellent punchline.
