Pop culture phenomenon Rihanna co-directed this visual to promote her 8th
album, Anti . Written and produced by Travis Scott, it is a rare treatment of a
Black woman’s revenge fantasy, incorporating body horror and Tarantino’s
art house Hollywood. Rihanna plays a mastermind kidnapper and torturer of
her enemies, who in this semi fictional world owe her inexplicable amounts of
money for her labour. Exacting her revenge with glee, she bathes in her
retrieved wealth and the blood, not of her ancestors but of her oppressors. It
is a gruesome affair capturing Rihanna the pop star at the height of her fame,
armed with impossibly chic costume designs and actively seeking
reparations. Goals.
