Through a mind, on a mountain
dwh-5652423 November 2017
Michel Gondry, before he got into feature film making, was a director of short films and music videos. As my first review, I'll write the first review of this music video. The video seems to be using projection, computer graphics (both 2d and 3d) and some sort of lighting array, all edited in a way where they overlap. This overlapping is where the surreal and transcendental feeling of this video shines. That, and the visuals themselves. Although the visuals have an outdated quality to them that makes the viewer notice this was made in 1996 (which is noticeable and very, very slightly detracts from the experience), this same outdated feeling gives the video a rather hazy atmosphere, which works in its favor, given the song.

In short: it's like a PlayStation 1 game dropped acid.
