Plot

A promotional video for Madonna's 1998 single "Frozen" in which she plays a shape-shifting sorceress who transforms into a flock of ravens and then an ominous-looking dog, and even replicates herself.

The video begins with the camera skimming along a cracked, desiccated desert floor, and within seconds Madonna appears, hovering just above the ground in the distance. Her hands are covered with mehndi and an enigmatic symbol on one palm. In the video she slowly gestures and sways her arms toward the sky in the video, desperately pleading to her cold lover cited in the song. At one point Madonna falls, and as she hits the ground, she transforms into a flock of large, dark birds. Later, she transforms into a black dog. Three Madonnas also appear walking and crawling amid the desert throughout the video. As the song progresses, the sky darkens, and Madonna levitates from the ground. Her form then changes to a shiny black liquid, which runs along the desert floor and appears to be absorbed by the tattooed hands of another Madonna, who is curled up on the crenelated ground. The video ends with a desperate and melancholy Madonna.—Peter-Patrick76 ([email protected])

Madonna appears as a kind of sorceress who can shift her shape. Her cloak writhes about like an eel, scant while later on she falls down and transforms into a flock of ravens. The cloak flutters in the wind, and she turns into a big black ominous-looking dog. And then, writhing on the sand, now there's three of her. All the time she sings words of wisdom. By latter-day standards, she evokes a Melissandre, the witch in Game of Thrones, aura.—RavenGlamDVDCollector
