Very cool imagery, dark fairytale/art-house flick in the vein of The Wall from Pink Floyd. It's a collection of 10 music videos that tell a story through all the videos. Fans of Tim Burton, Guillermo Del Toro, and trippy films like Eraser head, Requiem for a dream, Bjork's dancing in the dark, etc. would really like this. The music is kind of trip-hop/new wave/electronic, which really sets the mood. I just wish the story was a bit easier to follow but such is the case with music videos, isn't it? You really have to pay attention to catch the meaning which is pretty deep. It's pretty short at 40 minutes long, but unique in that the only comparison I can make is The Wall, where lyrics and the music is really carrying the story. if anyone can recommend any other films in this vein, I would love to hear about it.
