QT & Tellier on The Lana Show

         

that creeped me out

         

Liked that a lot.

         

I liked that too.

         

ain't hatin' but this is a total "eh." like it was made solely for seb and RoCo's enjoyment.

         

Enjoyed it. Tender and straightforward. The staggered/novice like zoom outs in the last 1/3 gave me a real sense of location.

         

v subtle.

         

I like this song very much. I like the second part a lot. I like the crappy pull out zoom made on an old 16 camera. It's like an old tv report about a personality. It feels something you could watch on a sunday afternoon in 1976.

But i think the video lacks a way in. Something to capture you into. But i guess it's what they call radicalism in art.

On second thoughts, i think you couldn't have this wave of nostalgia at the end if the beginning wasn't a bit flat. I think it works well like that. But i don't like the burnout effect (even if it's real) not subtle as the rest.

And btw, The song was written by mr tellier for her analyst, something i find amusing and touching.

         

if it wasn't for the comments that enjoyed the last part, i wouldn't sit through the vhole video. so i bore with it, waiting for something to happen, but it didn't.

in order for this sort of videos - where nothing visually arresting happens - to keep me focused, they need either a great song or an artist i'm particularily fond of. not the case. and that reveal at the end - was it a mental institution? anyways, the only things i liked about this were the rolling stones tongue logo and the ocb papers.

         

poethetic

         

Mental institution?? Legion, that was an apartment in Paris (or the vicinity thereof).

         

the mirror effect seemed kinda out of place, but other than that, spot on.

         

the song is so compelling that i think the simple video really suits it.

i found this to be pretty fun too: www.thelanashow.com

         

@!familiar - if that wasnt a madhouse, donc no twist in the plot, then there's absouletely nothing special about this video

meh: he wrote.

         

Give me a break.

I'd love to see the comments if this was an unknown band and director.

Oh wait, there wouldn't be any.

         

^^ yup

the tree in the forest fell, but this time many people were around to see it. When asked if it made a sound, the people said "yes, and it was subtle".

         

Hm, link says FORBIDDEN

         

guff, birds: bs. interesting how name directors always have part of the crowd resort to feigning purism...

         

also interesting to see a cup of tepid water being sold and labeled as tieguanyin tea

         

The point isn't that it is (or isn't) subtile, it's just that it isn't the normal loud conceptual contraption we're used to seeing pulled out regardless of it's necessity.

I watched this through before noticing who the director was. I did not like the other recent Sebastien Tellier video, so I was not expecting to like this one.
But I found it engaging. That's all.

         

@ prog - Oh yeah? Purism? Well...you wanna fight about it?

really, I'm not sure I had a point, but if I did, it had nothing to do with purism. I did, however, enjoy Macguffin's hypothetical situation, I found it to be highly probable. I ain't hatin'. I just ain't lovin'. So, you know, no need to get all worked up. We're, like, best friends and you're ruining it.

sharpiesharpesharpe: please update your post with some youtube links or... i don't know.

         

here you go: www.youtube.com

         

Suits the song and the artist, not sure why anyone thought it was a mental institution, its clearly a Parisian apartment complex and most likely one of Sebastians own Apartments. I liked the video in a "slice of Life" kind of way, bringing us into Sebastians world and process without glamorizing it or making it bizarre.

         

here's the link, fixed: MOV

         

@macguffin

this is bullshit indeed. music videos do not exist in a vacuum, they take on relevance and meaning from those who create the media they accompany.

i do not come here to see good shorts. i come here to see good music videos, and they have everything to do with every component they connect.

         

Exactly. And this connected on many levels with the artist, and the mood of the song. Subtle? I'd just call it well done.

         

this video is shit. i only watched it because of Tellier and Coppola.

         

It looks to me like Roman showed up at Sebastien's apartment for an hour and got all of the footage that one can gather with no budget or crew. Then someone put together a tasteful edit. Trying to turn this into anything more than that is a little embarrassing to read.

         

and what exactly is wrong with that budget? in a way that is the concept and it works quite well, in a way that opens a window into Telliers process.

         

Not enough cars and cameos, maybe?

         

Where's Ron Howard?

         

loved the song but don't see why everyones harping about the video. it sets a good tone and mood that fits the song but just a quiet nod and "next" would suffice.

         

I must say I now have a certain expectation before watching a Roman Coppola video that I am about to watch something lazy... based on his other works (which I started getting the impression of at the beginning of this), but soon realised he had made something quite cleverly restrained... (apart the mirror effect slip up mid-way) The b-grade 70's zooms worked a treat.
