A psychedelic visit to the amusement park with The Luck of Eden Hall.
A man meets a half-woman-half-phoenix who falls from the heaven, and brings her into his home, where she converses with the animals in his garden. Then the two fall in love and…
Kanye West’s 2010 30 minutes film “Runaway” combines a number of songs from his album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” into a surreal and extravagant creation and has some delightfully psychedelic moments which are a pleasure to watch.

The gaze, which is directed towards the sun again and again from various settings in the Israeli environment, makes this into a love song to the sun who is with us everywhere radiating its glowing light. Beautiful.
