This is one of my favorite music videos. It makes me laugh every time.

It really is one of the finest things committed to digital celluloid substitute. Rubber Johnny is an exceptional bit of work too

Both were done by Chris Cunningham. He did a lot of work with Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Björk, etc. Highly suggest checking out some of his other work.

The Director series DVDs are still one of my prized possessions. Cunningham, Michel Ghondry, Spike Jones, I miss the heyday of great videos (toss in the Brevia Colors and Honda Cogs ads of the same time period).

Yeah, back in the dark ages I watched his videos, along with Michel Gondry’s, pretty religiously. They both had a really visionary approach to film making

I remember seeing this for the first time on a Greek television station with no context. I was so confused until the music started. Then I was delighted, then horrified, then ecstatic because I knew I had just witnessed a masterpiece.
