You're pretty when you cry

Video to Vast's "Pretty when you cry"

which is just fantastically disturbing, in a "Company of Wolves" way. Not to be watched when alone at night...

You can tell that the director has actually seen Company of Wolves, too. So many iconic images--the car in the woods, the head in the milk... very cool.

I clicked play and it gave me a clip of Today by Smashing Pumpkins, and I was watching it thinking this CAN'T be what he's talking about.

Works when I clicked on comments and played it from there, though. Good stuff.

Ooh, it goes a bit Don't Look Now about halfway through, too.

I've never seen "Company of Wolves", but I'm sure I recognize allusions to Lolita in various dynamics and scene elements here. Whether this is also in CoW or not I don't know.

Company of Wolves is an amazing dream-like movie about coming of age, and little red riding hood, and the dangers that lurk inside everyone.

Yes, looked it up on IMDB. Filed for "watch this in future." I just read Lolita last week, so it's fresh in my mind, and the whole "I prey on you while acting subservient towards you" vibe in the choreography here makes me think of it...

I've not read Lolita - and the only film version I've seen is the bowlderised Kubrick one. But from my understanding the issues it raises are covered from a different angle in Venus, which was a marvellous character piece.
