Jocelyn Anquetil directs a sizzling showcase for the return of Sudan Archives - aka US singer/violinist Brittney Denise Parks - with Home Maker, in an unlikely setting. Sudan Archives struts into an indoor second-hand flea market to check out the furniture - dressed to kill and ready for action - with a few mesmerized males meekly in tow. The guys are prompted join her provocative, high-energy performance, and when the lights go down low, a pillow fight ensues under strobing UV lights.A diverse range of recording equipment - including CCTV footage and camcorders - captures the action, to create a world that feels anachronistic and playful, and heighten a saucy sense of voyeurism and tongue-in-cheek sexiness.With the inspired styling and atypical choice of location, and a terrific edit by Charlie Von Rotberg, it's a brilliantly orchestrated work by Anquetil. And as it marks the release of Sudan Archives' first original release since 2019, it represents a wonderful comeback.
