Well, kids, it's finally here: Kanye West's short film Runaway has made its way to the Internet in all of its 34-minute, mildly NSFW glory. And while it may not be a masterpiece, it definitely has something for everyone. Wooden acting? Check. A woman-bird with sporadic body tremors? Check. How about those gloomy woods Lars von Trier utilized so wonderfully in Antichrist? Yup, Kanye's got that, too.
The film, set to the music of Kanye's upcoming album, tells the story of a fallen woman-bird played by Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks, obviously cast for her extensive acting resume. The role mostly requires that she twitch from time to time and spend one extended scene smelling grass after she is herded with other animals in Kanye's pristine backyard. Needless to say, "November Rain" this is not.
Luckily, the scantily clad avian soon finds her way inside for a little dance session and before you know it is learning to drink from teacups and attending super fancy dinner parties with her savior / captor. Sadly our feathered friend soon realizes she is not meant for this world and departs in a blaze of glory. Cause nothing lasts forever, and we both know hearts can change.
