Crystal Castles - Crimewave Rmx (Dir. The Beta Movement)


Can't believe they shot (parts) in Berlin.

Not a good video. Did u commission this HASS?
         
Some not very interesting links related to CC:

Seeya.
         
The footage of the zombie is from Bruce LaBruce's latest: OTTO
         
dir. The Beta Movement who also did "Alice Practice" and "Vanished"
         
So, is it ye old Crystal-Castles-copyright infringement-thing or did they this time take care of LaBruce’s approval?

I must say that this video is pretty odd: random live footage, random performance-portrait shots, random footage from "Otto – Or:…". Besides the lyrics dealing with darkness/sunshine and exhaustion I see no deeper connection between CC and LaBruce’s Otto. Or did I neglect the gay-zombie-in-berlin-film-in-film-reference of CC’s "Crimewave"?

The Beta Movement has the Video for "Vanished" up. Mysteriously, there’s a new girl singing. Or is it someone from van She? Bizarre...

Edit: Oh, funny. The editorial text beneath the video at Spike.com has a "clever" description/explanation of the plot: "A Crystal Castles fan becomes a bloody zombie and walks the streets of Toronto all by his lonesome."
         
@lusk: nope, @ai: three, @waldar: who's alice?
