Pet Shop Boys - "Numb" - Dir. Julian Gibbs and Chris Sayer

PSB Numb

Popjustice.com has had kinda an 'exclusive' on this new video for about a week (although it's not really an exclusive, being that it's You Tube). I've given up waiting on the promise of a better resolution edition on the group's website.

So here it is: '... described by the directors as "an icy emotional landscape of borrowed dreams, sewn together with the power and style of Russian constructivist cinema." '

"...sewn together with the power and style of Russian constructivist cinema"

I was certain this would be boring. I was only half right.

Seems like Guy Maddin has two new fans...

I guess the idea came from PSB's experience of producing a new score to Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin in 2004. Watch the famous Odessa Steps sequence with that score here.

I agree that this video ('Numb') is rather wooly, and prefer the result of their reappropriation of Eisenstein.
