While ennui and angst are common to many generations, I can imagine it could be much more accute among millenials - anything that might have been considered a 'normal' life gave up the ghost before they came of age. They're wedged between the AIDS and #MeToo generations, so navigating relationships and sex is a minefield. More so for women, who are still stuck under certain expectations from both sides, and little skills with which to navigate.

In the article series Sound and Vision we take a look at music videos from notable directors. This week we take a look at several music videos by Luca Guadagnino.

Sometimes he chooses pre-existing tracks, but more often he asks his favorite artists to provide the sonic backd ..read more
