Lana del Rey hates paparazzi, loves leaning against walls in 'High by the Beach' video

Lana del Rey is all of Don Draper’s ex wives morphed into one damaged pop star. Lana del Rey is equal parts Sofia Coppola and Michael Bay. Lana del Rey is a forgotten watercolor set.

In her new video for “High by the Beach,” Lana del Rey does some of her finest collapsing, bored gazing and bathrobe modeling. It’s impressive, considering how high she’s set the bar already.

After the paparazzi find the sparsely furnished beach complex where she’s seemingly the only person left alive, Lana does what any reluctant celebrity would do: She drags a guitar case packed with a machine gun onto her deck and shoots the photographer’s helicopter down, rather than compromising her personal aesthetic by investing in opaque curtains. Flaming newspapers float from the sky, for some reason.

But does her revenge mission make her feel any better? Of course it doesn’t. This is Lana del Rey.
