Anuk Rohde directs a death-defying promo for iconic rockers Def Leppard. The video for Kick centres on a Wall Of Death carnival show, intercut between bikers' stunt driving and the group performing in the centre of the cylindrical structure. A cast of eccentric characters make up the supporting crowd - who watch on and celebrate the high octane event - and a series of portrait vignettes outside of the venue showcases the distinctive styling and makeup. The cinematography jumps between a grimy, shabby aesthetic and slow shutter black and white setups, which adds a textural, raw vibe to the concept.
