Anna Calvi ft Iggy Pop 'God's Lonely Man (Director's Cut)' by Luigi Calabrese
David Knight - 11th May 2026
Italian-American director Luigi Calabrese creates a hypnotic visual for Anna Calvi's collaboration with Iggy Pop, with the artists generating considerable heat at close quarters.
This is Calabrese's DC of the God's Lonely Man, not the released 'official' version. And he subverts expectations of both artists: Anna, now a smouldering blonde, dominates the unusually passive Iggy (apparently tied to his chair). And it really works. There is a powerful chemistry between them, and exciting degree of intimacy.
It's all managed with a very little in front of the camera apart from the performers themselves. Calabrese's use of the camera and lenses, together with the rhythmic edit, ramps up the atmosphere to memorable effect. If you watch one version of the God's Lonely Man video, it should be this one.
