Watch Justice and Susan Sarandon Hit the Highway in the New "Fire" Video

They go for a glamorous cruise around the desert in a silver Toyota Celica from the 80s.

French duo Justice have teamed up with leftist celebrity icon Susan Sarandon to share a glamorous video for "Fire," a track off their just-released new album, Woman. After debuting it via Facebook Live earlier today with a stream of the whole LP, THUMP is delighted to share the clip. The video finds the trio meeting up at a minimalist desert home for a picturesque road trip in a silver Toyota Celica from the 80s. With its Easy Rider-style cinematography, it oozes with Justice's signature brand of vintage cool, culminating in a glowing homage to Sarandon's onscreen legacy.

Filmmaker Pascal Teixeira, who directed the clip, was kind enough to divulge some of the backstory: "On a hot Summer afternoon, Gaspard and I were in Xavier's kitchen, collectively daydreaming about washing a car," he said. "The year we like for car design, the make, where it could take place, the mood… and there should be a woman to go cruising with, an iconic mix of cool, allure, and strength. 'Susan Sarandon, of course!,' we said. Then, a couple months later, we're in the desert with the car and a lot of soap, and by some weird miracle, there she is, even more amazing than we had fantasized her to be, ready to go for a drive."

Justice's new album, their first since 2011's Audio, Video, Disco, is available to stream in full. "Fire" is the third music video from Women, following previously released clips for "Alakazam!" and "Randy."
