overview
Tropico, the short film "tale of sin and redemption" starring Lana Del Rey (and her songs "Body Electric", "Gods and Monsters", and "Bel Air"). It's 27 minutes long, co-stars model Shaun Ross, was directed by Anthony Mandler, and was produced by Rick Rubin.
Tropico puts a contemporary spin on stories from the Bible and opens with a scene set in the Garden of Eden. Del Rey plays the role of Eve. Mandler previously directed Lana Del Rey's videos for "Ride" and "National Anthem" (the latter of which starred A$AP Rocky as JFK).
The film premiered last night with a screening in L.A., at which Lana told fans, "I really just wanted us all to be together so I could try and visually close out my chapter before I release the new record, Ultraviolence.”
