FEO AMANTE THEATER |
What is that video with the bad guy or spy guy? Maybe he's a hitman? Three guys are chasing him. A naked gal pulls a gun on him. He's being chased by a car? Three dancing girls give him an injection? Hallucinations? He's blindfolded at the end, execution style?
This is the video you're probably thinking of: Dutch rock band, Golden Earring's Twilight Zone, directed by Dick Maas (THE LIFT, DOWN, THE SHAFT).
This is one of the greatest music videos of all time and for good reason. Cinematic, sharp editing, a solid story and - amazingly - characters, and visuals that make sense to both the song and the video. When the video transitions from its own "reality" to the main protagnist's hallucination, we are right there and never lost for a second. And the entire thing takes place within the song: no prologue or epilogue required. Video creator, Dick Maas proved his genius with the short film in a way he's never been able to recreate in a feature film.
In the last 30 plus years, few music video directors are capable of achieving such brilliance and fewer still even try.
