The Bloody Beetroots - Cornelius (Video version)

"Lord of the time-streams, master of the multiverse, androgynous, bisexual, well-dressed, gun-toting, drug-taking, fast car-driving arsonist, rock star, nuclear physicist and assassin"

CORNELIUS

THE FIRST STEP… THE CLIP, THE STORY, THE NIGHTMARE

The clip intertwines the real Bloody Beetroots life style with the oniric dimension of the nightmare. A tale without any redemption, an absolute neorealism under strobe lights, an out-and-out social piece, a vortex without ideology…practically the era of the rotten apples without any dialogue.

Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, the satyr, the man without face, the iconoclast, lives his umpteenth reincarnation and he does it trying to escape from a clumsy dream inhabited by vampirized characters (Tommy Tea, Steve Aoki, Mon Colonel, Crookers, LA Riots etc.etc.). It is a noir back-of-the-scene activity, where the maximum aspiration is the flash of a camera from the social blogs. Editing and photography follow the rhetoric and the fil rouge of "Smack My Bitch Up" from Prodigy, where the dodecaphonic histerya of the international parties shot by Mark "Cobrasnake" is added.


2.
55 MINUTES OF PURE UNCONSCIOUSNESS

Cornelius is not only a videoclip but an elaborate products combining within itself: music, literature, arts and fashion.

A thorough social piece of work in various acts, with unvarnished aspects
of a reality that dwells the nights.

Foremost character, only leading dream actor, even though in flesh and bones: Cornelius- Rifo, the alterego of the characther of Moorcock.
