This self-directed Death Grips video opens with eight minutes of silence. That's slightly lower on the list of Major Label Do Not's than using a cock shot as your album art, but not by much.
Restraint is not something I'd associate with direct Gaspar Noe — His 2002 film Irreversible is brutal on many levels, a work of art that absolutely decimates that fine line between undeniable and unwatchable — but his "We No Who U R" video for the legendary Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds is a controlled and hypnotic look at a shadow man's journey into the darkness of an unforgiving forest.
In further proof that the rules are different when it comes to arguably the most famous music video of all time, another person involved with Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video has walked away with a check that would dwarf most music video budgets today, let alone what a similar actress would make for a video role.
Hands go flipping through a book to pick out just the right look for a new human, trying out all sorts of styles amongst a flurry of practical and special effects. Creepy, but very cool.
