Arcade Fire "Black Mirror" (Video)

January 24, 2008 9:07 p.m. by John Zeiss

The few lines that Win Butler sings in French aren't the only things Gallic in this clip for Arcade Fire's "Black Mirror." The entire video looks like a fine piece of French surrealist filmmaking from the middle of last century. It's a nautical-themed video not unlike the one for Modest Mouse's "Dashboard," except it's in black and white and no one is sporting appendages made out of musical equipment. A protagonist who looks a lot like Lance Armstrong, and is clutching a jug of mystery potion, enters the oversized head of an old man, where he's suddenly swarmed by a tribe of triangle people. From there it's . . . ummm . . . some odd synchronized dancing? Just give the video a gander yourself and see if you can make any more coherent sense out of it.
