Leonard Cohen - In My Secret Life [Floria Sigismondi]
Amazed to see nobody posted it yet ! Well, that's Floria. And Leonard Cohen. And that's great.



MOV (28 Mo):

Uh. No.
         
i thought it was great. there is nobody working in videos today with a better grasp of photography, set design and costume. ideas always strong too. bravo floria
         
Oh come on. Someone leveled the "pretentious" accusation at the Justice video. I don't think applies there, but to this? Yes. Very much. Technically uninspiring too.
         
first class.
both the music and the video.
         
0.05: Boyfriend: "Is this going to be 3 minutes of people dancing with eggs on their heads, and Leonard Cohen taking his glasses on and off?"

And so it was. Well lit, but boring, and didn't seem to gel with the song.
         
cool! bits of that i really really like... kissing rock head couple, excellennt.

but feel like the modernist architecture gets pretty boring after a while... probably not helped by watching it small shit resolution (defocus shots eg are completely lost at that scale). kinda felt like rock head imagery could've been given more time to play out, less jump cutty (any point to that?), and less picture in picture. surely once it's set up as on a screen/projection, we don't need to see it each time?

but yeah, overall, i'd vote marginally less pretentious than Justice. only marginally. but who gives.
         
this is when geometry has a sense of irony: when squares don't appreciate de chirico's oval-shaped heads and right angles.

in my secret life - bedroom gymnastics
         
nice images but...phhh. yawn.
         
Well, I agree, "great" was maybe too much, and it can be a little bit boring but I find Floria's work very beautiful and... well... Pretentious ? Maybe, but anyway, I like it. She's got some nice ideas.
I think I'll try to post every Floria video that's not on this site - if I can...

(Your "secret life"'s very cute, matei-alexandru...)
         
I just discover this video.
It's a good video but it totally reminds me a test i have done for Mylo in 2004!!

Wow ! It is indeed very similar ! Well, as you seem to be French : fais gaffe, t'as les mêmes idées bizarres que Floria Sigismondi ! Vous devez avoir subi le même traumatisme durant votre enfance... Non, sérieusement, quelle transmission de pensée ! Moi je dis bravo...
