Developed as a "visual album", Beyoncé's songs are accompanied by non-linear short films that illustrate the musical concepts conceived during production. Its dark and intimate subject material includes feminist themes of sex, monogamous love, and relationship issues, inspired by Beyoncé's desire to assert her full creative freedom.

Directed by Hype Williams and Ed Burke and Beyoncé and Jonas Åkerlund and Todd Tourso and Melina Matsoukas and Bill Kirstein and Francesco Carrozzini and Jake Nava and Pierre Debusschere and Ricky Saiz and Terry Richardson
