man. I used to want to see a higher-quality file of this so bad. thanks for the link. the song is definitely awesome. the strings especially are just piercing when they come in. I think the video really conveys that same sense of deep, sort of ominous sadness & loss that the instrumentation does. this renews my love for Doves. thanks again, progosk.

... hum. "Would you like more cliche with your large serving of cliche?" Didn't do it for me, at all. Quite the opposite.

Yeah. The first time I ever saw it I thought it ruined the song & I was pissed. lol. Now it just makes me really sad.

cliché? where/what? methinks you've got yourself on some dry ice there. this is beautifully (painterly) lit, styled & shot, intensely acted, subtly edited. (unclench, nofare.)

Progosk, I can't unclench! I just ate dry ice. I might also be on thin ice ... although As Amsterdam seems to be with me as regards that video.

The trouble I have with this vid is the terrible over-the- top cliché (I say it again!) "acting." I'm just bored with watching bad 30-something actors arguing about God knows what -- and once again the girl is the one who is yelling the most with the guy pleading for her understanding ... boohoo hoo.

Like bad teenage poetry. But it's well lit, I'll give you that.

(Note to self: need.to.unclench.)

I don't know about cliché, but there's something wrong with it. I expected there to be some kind of payoff after all that slow motion and there just wasn't anything. It's one thing to admire the artistry of the video, but another thing to actually be entertained or stimulated by it.

i'll concede that the sexual politics are (perhaps too) archetypal - to me that's part of what brings viola to mind - but that's nothing to do with the acting (which i find gauged just right.) there's no payoff in situations like those, and it's the last thing i expected (the cards are just symbolic enough to close it).
