The terrifying world of rehab is depicted in all of its homoerotic glory in Duran Duran's latest video. Director Anthony Mandler has recreated One Flew Over the Cuckoo'''s Nest, but this time with slutty nurses and hot model patients. The members of DD''all on staff''dispense pills and wander around eerily untouched by the hands of time (has keyboardist Nick Rhodes aged at all?) and character and plot development comes by way of a highly entertaining two minute lead-in to the song.
Simon LeBon and the rest of Duran Duran may play caring doctor-types in this video, but this is just as tasteless and sexist as any they did in the 80s. ''"Girls on Film,''" anyone? The song is catchy and was co-written by Justin Timberlake. Who knew he could use the word ''"barb''" in a sentence.
