Vincent René-Lortie directs a breathtaking, dreamlike epic for Canadian-French singer Charlotte Cardin, exploring aspects of desire on a remote Mediterranean island. 

The video for Take Me Back begins with Cardin unconscious, carried from the rocks of the island to a fortress-like building by the other inhabitants. From there, a mysterious narrative unfolds involving the intriguing activities of the inhabitants - including testosterone-fuelled wrestling - in this prison-like Paradise. And Charlotte is inexorably drawn to one boy.

Filmed on a remote island off the coast of Sicily, Quebecois filmmaker and Academy Award nominee René-Lortie creates memorable choreographed set-pieces, inspired by the language of continental cinema but also incorporating elements of performance. With its cinematic narrative and ambitious scope, it's a breathtaking achievement

Most importantly, the concept and setting maximises Charlotte Cardin's considerable screen charisma. Already in a big star in France and Canada - and named Billboard's Global Artist of 2025 - this paves the way for a striking new artistic chapter of her career.
