Billboard reports that the film will be exclusively released on VEVO December 5.
As we previously reported Tropico "a tale of redemption told to the music of 'Body Electric,' 'God's and Monster's,' and 'Bel Air.'" Anthony Mandler will be directing the film.
In the trailer we enter the exotic and chaotically seductive world that Rey’s character lives in. Rey’s character seems like a lost soul trying to find peace in the madness of drugs, crime, and temptation unfolding ahead of her. She proudly showcases her tattooed body as she portrays the role of a stripper. Rey is tempted to take a bite of the forbidden fruit and plays with a serpent. She finally takes a bite of the fruit and gun shots are fired at the end.
Below is the teaser for the upcoming film. Let us know what you think.
