Creating absurdity requires absolute seriousness. To a point. Behind The Scenes director Jarred Alterman lets us walk along "Wishes" video director Eric Wareheim as he orchestrates an insanely odd, yet beautiful celebration of sport.
I am ready to start a viral campaign for Eric Wareheim to direct and produce the next Super Bowl halftime show. Because I don't think anyone has ever captured the drama, the passion, the glory and the absurbity of sport better than he has in this Beach House video.
Pink Floyd did it in Pompeii, at an ancient Roman amphiteater built around 70 B.C. Beach House make do with Texas, and instead of being rurrounded by gorgous relics, they're encircled by car lights and the crumbling sprawl of The Lonestar State. A lesser budget, for sure, but still with a touch of grandeur. (PS: This is 26 minutes long)
