Review of Lady Gaga: Perfect Illusion

This is the music video for "Perfect Illusion", the Lady Gaga song from 2016, so neither a really new or old work by her. This one runs for minimally over 3 minutes and still had 2 people direct it. And this duo worked with (now Oscar winner) Lady Gaga on other occasions as well. Gaga as always plays the main role in this music video and she is stranded in the desert but still jumps around wildly early on instead of saving energy and sweat before she gives a concert performance. But I think this is supposed to imply thatg all the guests partying hard with her are justg an illusion, a fata morgana? Well, a pretty simple story line admittedly. In order to have it not appear completely empty and shallow (no pun intended!), they made a connection to a love relationship with the title that was also an illusion, maybe even a perfect illusion. It is not too clear if Gaga is referring to one of her relationships with that. Slightly catchy song and forgettable music video, it's fine to skip the visual side here and just stick with the record. For me it is a thumbs-down overall. Not recommended.
