Slow Motion off a high dive…holy fucking shit.
If there is a heaven, I hope its swimming pools are lit like that. In slow motion, of course.
What this video lacks in plausible story, more than makes up for with its consistent tone. There are just so many great sequences in this video that, combined, they make for a very powerful visual piece. Avoiding cliches and performance shots of the band, Malajube’s “Luna” sets out to give the viewer more of an experience than over-stated, musical advertisement.
The awkward interaction between the main girl and the beggar, the beginning’s alarm clock groan, and OH YEAH, those sweet back-lit underwater shots, all contribute to the overall spooky environment created by Montreal-based director, David Valiquette.
Just when you didn’t think it could get any better, you realize that the girl had been drowning the whole time. Now that’s some crazy Jane Campion shit!
I’m also a big fan of synchronized swimming in any context. Yup, even that NuvaRing ad.
Thanks for not falling back on that “It was only a dream” BS that most Music Videos use to create artificial closure, David. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
