A short film for the recent Jehnny Beth single I’m The Man has been released.
As part of the Peaky Blinders soundtrack, it’s no surprise that the video has been created by the show’s writer and director Anthony Byrne, while its star Cillian Murphy also plays his part.
Beth has previously said I’m The Man is an ‘attempted study on humankind, what we define as evil and the inner conflict of morality’. “Because it is much easier to label the people who are clearly tormented by obsessions as monsters than to discern the universal human background which is visible behind them,” she continued.
“However, this song has not even a remote connection with a sociological study, collective psychology, or present politics; It is a poetic work first and foremost. Its aim is to make you feel, not think.”
