Grace Jones: I've Seen That Face Before (TV show version) (1981 Music Video) User Reviews

Fine video

[Rodrigo_Amaro · 9/10 · 6 April 2023]

This video version of "I've Seen That Face Before" is not the one directed by Jean-Paul Goude which featues Grace Jones perfoming a burlesque act while the camera slows reveals the place she's at and the crowd behind her; this one she performs on a crowded bar where older men are drinking and watching her performance. It's a little strange if compared to the artistic video but the song is so haunting, effective and powerful that we don't have the time to form an opinion and complain about. Hard to figure out why a second clip had to be made for a television audience when the mysterious and artistic video was good enough to sell the song and the present the artist to those unfamiliar with her. Still, gets a thumbs up from me. 9/10.
