The Last Dinner Party 'The Feminine Urge' by Harv Frost

Rob Ulitski - 25th July 2024

Harv Frost directs a characteristically expressive promo for The Last Dinner Party.

The video for The Feminine Urge has an elevated, vintage vibe, delivering a devastating but relatable message. Each band member has their own performance vignette, visualising the cyclical nature of the stifling expectations placed upon women in society. The band members eventually liberate themselves via individual acts of subtle rebellion and enjoyment of their new feelings of freedom, even if it’s temporary.

It's an important message, translated into a stirring visual montage. Anchored by a grand location and offbeat colour palette, the video has a heavy dose of otherworldliness throughout - and it's executed to perfection. 

"This was all about creating something that really embodied the feminine urge to throw a chair across a room or peel all of your skin off," explains Harv Frost. 

"Set in the backdrop of a prestigious dance school (à la Suspiria), it’s also about the expectations of brilliance and perfection of women in the public eye, and the desire to just let loose, and you know, smash it all up."
