Une Vraie Gothique, the darkwave duo of Ulrika and Ferdinand Legendre, released a video for “Nuée Ardente,” directed by Anaïs Novembre. The track appears on their album R.D.V au cimetière and explores the tension between genuine gothic devotion and theatrical self-awareness. The video employs close framing, sharp editing, and strobing effects reminiscent of Gaspar Noé’s visual style, capturing bodies moving through darkness with intensity and dark humor. The song blends EBM and dark electro influences while treating goth aesthetics not as rigid doctrine but as a living, playful language where ambition and absurdity coexist. Novembre’s direction emphasizes pressure and frenzy while maintaining an affectionate tone toward the pair’s search for authentic darkness, allowing the video to embrace sensuality, witchcraft, and cemetery romance without surrendering irony.
