It's all fun and games until
the elephant gas mask pops off
and your elementary school
classmate is left lifeless
upon a sea of black ash and
dead birds. Whereas most Sigur
Rós videos are happy
showcasing slow motion
children (or slow motion old
people acting like children)
jumping off a cliff or sitting
on a dock, director Floria
Sigismondi sticks with the slo
mo kids but relocates to a
post-apocalyptic dusk. It's
the only video to date that
captures both the soaring
euphoria and wilting comedowns
of Sigur Rós's music in
equal measure. Majestic horror
at its finest. [Ryan Dombal]
