For me, it’s modernising the demon from ‘possession’ as technology and Rosalind expresses how that shapes us and makes us become someone we sometimes don’t want to be and how it, over times, can damage us. More than that, the acting is amazing. The perfection of subtly hitting your elbow on a wall and getting startled by it to the panic stare she gives. My god, and of course… it’s massive attack, so 10/10 music. This is beautiful.

[@KingofGeo]

It always amazes me how well actors can react to an object that is not there, this really is an A+ performance from Rosamund Pike.

Such an amazing film!! I'm glad someone noticed.

[@polarolar]

+Satrio Aditomo totally agree

[@diegofarahferrero]

isabelle is Wonderful. but rosamund... OMG

[@aquariol]

even the clothes

[@rioaditomo]

lascivit IKR! That movie is so twisted but yet so amazing with great acting perfomances.

[@excalitto]

Massive attack definitely picked the best actress to perform this and she brilliantly pulled if off.

[@beatweezl]

Her reflexes are incredible the way she keeps up with the lightening fast movements of the sphere! Amazing talent! z);^D

[@dannylowe8932]

This is one of the most disturbing surreal macabre videos I have ever seen, and I can not take my eyes off it! It is so compelling

[@Mightypoo007]

Danny Lowe Watch 1981 Possession, and credit those instead. They literally copied the posession scene and added a floating ball.

[@realryangosling333]

It’s not really a metaphor if it’s that blatant :::::)

Danny Lowe The irony, you can not take your eyes off

Incredible video. Props to Rosamund Pike, and the video director, Ringan Ledwidge.

Sad news - he died on November 8, 2021 at the age of 50.....

This woman deserves some kind of an award. Idk if it would be a Grammy, an Oscar or what. The acting in this is... enthralling. I am so dialed in to her actions and movements. And it's the "robot/alien/entity" that's making it happen. But we are transfixed on HER. When she "acted" this, there was no robot. She was by herself doing this, imagining it. There was nothing there, except her. This is in my top ten best "acted scenes" I have ever scene. The FEELINGS invoked is incredible. I hate this sentence, but "You go girl.". You fuckin killed it. Again, some of the best acting I've ever seen. Not to mention the cinematography, CGI, lighting, creativity, and the musicality itself. A masterpiece. Bravo, encore! There is no need though. We already have so many masterpieces from Massive Attack. Ritual Spirit, Angel, etc..... The repertoire is incredible. I wish the broader audience was aware of this top tier art.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Massive attack are globaly famous and loved. Even though they might be not super ''mainstream'' but they are still beloved and in-demand meaning broader audience IS aware of that. Plus, their masterpieces are measured in albums, not songs imo

[@Akane666]

The Oscar for this lady O_O wow!

[@btul2569]

shes good

[@chioestradacastro3623]

I just love all the sensations Massive Attack can provoke

[@tomosan1967]

Wow the acting, outstanding!!

[@LED-VIBES]

I really can't wrap my head around this song. The lyrics and style are very different from my usual music, but I keep coming back. The rhythm of this song keeps bringing me back to it. When I hear it, I want to fight or run/work out

[@InertiaCreeps]

Rosamund Pike deserves and Oscar for this performance! Hell she deserves one just for rolling around on that nasty wet subway floor. But also for this amazing physical performance!!!

[@933r7]

It always amazes me that Massive Attack is one of the few that are capable of keeping the human touch/soul in their electronic music. The manipulate their electronics as an extension. you know like Jimi Hendrix controlled his guitar...

[@onestupidperson8354]

933R haha if you think this is good then you've never experienced Lorn.

[@o1337o]

Lorn is great but how does it devalue this?

[@onestupidperson8354]

Heiko never said it devalued anything. I was simply stating that Lorn can do the same thing just as well, if not better.

[@o1337o]

Ah i feel ya. Was just confused by the phrasing.

[@k-leb4671]

Check out Son Lux. I feel the same way about how they handle electronic music.

TBH this reminds me of Possession's (1981) Subway Scene. Actually, it is basically that scene. Nicely done

[@annazielinska7950]

finally someone to notice that :D

[@lemonsugaru8166]

It was based on that as the MV director is a big fan of that film and the lead actress in it

[@2007lenga]

good observation. That`s exactly the movie I thought of when I saw this video. That was Isabelle Adjani, and I think she got the palm de or in Cannes for that performance.

[@russianvoodoo]

The director of the video, Ringan Ledwidge, choose for chief inspiration the possession scene from the aptly named 1981 film "Possession", when directing the Oscar nominated actress Rosemund Pike. The floating mechanical ball featured in the video was inspired by 1979 horror/scifi film "Phantasm", which featured similar ghostly balls controlling helpless people's bodies.

She killed this. Great video. Sick song... Awesome tile walls

[@alexisboulay3352]

Reminds me of that scene in Possession by Zulawski where Isabelle Adjani goes batshit crazy in a subway tunnel.

[@jordanlaithrawi]

its based on Possession and Phantasm

[@christianschallermedia]

just googled that scene and WHAT THE HELL

[@josebriones334]

What a great performance!!! I love her!!

She is beautiful. And the performance is awesome!

This song evokes in me such a real feeling that I've never had. I love it.

This song has had me in a trance for three days, now. I keep listening to it. Over and over again
