The "Save Your Tears" music video by The Weeknd , directed by Cliqua, serves as a surreal, satirical exploration of the artifice of Hollywood and the physical, emotional toll of fame [1, 2, 4]. It depicts a heavily prosthetic-altered version of The Weeknd performing for a masked, indifferent audience, with the video's climax suggesting that his personal pain has been reduced to entertainment [1, 2, 3, 5].
