St. Vincent’s Closet Picks

The musician shares her love for THE BITTER TEARS OF PETRA VON KANT and its decadent drama, praises Nicole Kidman’s hilariously psychotic performance in TO DIE FOR, and talks about the intimate dream state of BRAND UPON THE BRAIN!

Love her choosing the random film at the end, such a great idea!

[Armakk]

In the closet, the filmmakers tell stories and the musicians just go full melodrama... as the gods intended.🙌🔥

[reesespeanutbuttercups]

fuck yeah her music is so cinematic. The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant is exactly like her first album.

[ejparas]

did y’all listen to “all born screaming” yet? it’s amazing! I think my favorite St. Vincent album now, that first listen just gobsmacked me. not surprising in the slightest that Annie Clark is a cinephile with taste and has such distinct stories & connections with film

The bitter tears of petra von kant is so st vincent coded

[NickPiers]

So, I'll be honest. I'm not big into music, so I'd never hear of St Vincent until this video. But now I'm watching music videos on her channel and goddamn, I'm digging it.

“To Die For” is one of those quintessential 90’s indie-boom movies that is so subversive and yet so expertly made that it’s hard to imagine anything like it being made today.

[NickPiers]

I feel like everyone who visits the closet should do one pick like she did at the end. Just spin around and point to a random film on the shelf and take it. Let random chance pick just one movie for you. What a genuinely great idea.

I'm absolutely SHOCKED that she did not pick up a David Lynch title, if for no other reason just to talk about it. She's a big fan.

[caseyaulbach]

Love her music. This is the Criterion closet cross-over I didn't ask for but I definitely needed!

[SaintMartins]

Every guest should be asked to do a "blind buy choice" as their final pick.
That's how you break out of your comfort zone and discover something new.

Amazing picks, great energy to St, Vincent.
Loved her David Byrne collabs!

[NoirFan]

Dazed & Confused is one of those films where I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't love it. It's so much fun. The Bitter Tears Of Petra von Kant is far & away my favourite Fassbinder, it's so good.

[JustSomeCanadianGuy]

To Die For needs a resurgence.

It’d click SO much with audiences today!!!

God that’s such a great movie.

[tomasandrew]

Oooh, if she had just chosen Todd Haynes’s “Safe, ” it would’ve been perfect along Waters, Almodóvar, Fassbinder and Gus Van Sant!

[jamespriest]

I could listen to Annie talk until the end of time. It's the passion and openness to her heart and soul. Plus she's just so damn cute.

[jamiehammond]

To Die For and Nicole Kidman's tremendous performance do not get enough attention! Thanks for showing some love!👏

[sophierios]

so much respect for picking Trainspotting and Dazed & Confused, two of my all time faves

[breh]

Yay new films ill check out! I loved Chloe in the afternoon, she has great taste.

Damaged people are fascinating... what a mundane yet unchaotic world it would be without them.
