DVD Reviews of Director's Series Vol. 6 - Work of Director Anton Corbijn
DVD Review: Introspective Journey
Summary: 5 Stars
"I know I would apologize if I could see your eyes
cause when you showed me myself I became someone else
But I was caught in between all you wish for and all you need"
~Joseph Arthur, In The Sun
Anton Corbijn's work has an element of introspection as opposed to visual overwhelm. In this collection you may notice the black-and-white grainy backgrounds with crimson highlights. His work is instantly recognizable and he is famous for photographing a long list of entertainers, including Miles Davis and Michael Stipe. He is known for his unique visions, like the Coldplay "Talk" music video.
This DVD includes "Red Guitar," where we find David Sylvian embracing a rich symbolism through Anton Corbijn's art in motion. You can truly feel the mingling of his mind with the ideas in David Sylvian's song and he captures peaceful images to highlight the beauty of David's voice. He seems to draw on mythology and images that represent the life of the soul.
U2's "Electrical Storm" is featured and there is a behind the scenes look at how the music video was filmed. Lovers fight as tension builds and then there is a breathlessly beautiful scene of kissing in a bathtub set near the ocean and fireworks all over the sky. Bono makes an appearance later talking about his experiences working with Anton Corbijn. I loved the purity of his voice as he sings "One." His voice was so ecstatic in this sepia toned director's cut. The beauty of his voice comes through with a brilliance of clarity like I've never heard it before. Truly stunning and gives you shivers!
Heart-Shaped Box is supremely colorful and the most expensive music video he made due to the time it took to add color to the black-and-white film. Kurt Cobain talks about how Anton's ideas were very similar to the vision he had for the video.
I loved Joseph Arthur's "In The Sun" with the red beach umbrella and the focus on a book he reads as he walks and rips out pages. When watching so many videos all at once, you start to notice similarities in ideas, like many have books with pages being ripped out and this seems to be symbolic of always absorbing experiences and then moving on to new inspiration.
Many of the videos have a similar trajectory with very different results. There is at times a story within the mood that propels the images forward towards their individual destinies. The images never move too fast and are captured at a pleasing pace so you can focus on the ideas instead of a blur of images. This poetic way of looking at filming brings in an artistic edge that allows you to relax into the emotions and images in a way that is often difficult in "many" of today's fast-paced music videos that focus on shock value and sex appeal instead of poetic sensuality and artistic beauty.
Throughout the videos we find kings wandering through pristine landscapes searching for tranquility and peace, poetic lyrics expressing the need for understanding while birds skate on what I assume to represent "thin ice." The concept of everyone being human and the similarity of experience within a unique expression seems prevalent in many videos. "Quiet Eyes" is entertaining due to the use of "stripes" which I guess makes a play on another word you could say is featured in the video.
A 56-page book is included with pictures presented in a scrapbook format with Anton's writing around the photographs. Here he explains why he started to film music videos and gives the reader an inside take on what inspired the way he filmed the videos.
I love the cozy chat with Anton Corbijn and how all the artists spoke of their experience with being filmed and photographed in such a positive way. Anton Corbijn seems to have connected on a level where artists could put their life in his hands and he would give them the gift of his amazing talents.
"You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
If the sky can crack, there must be some way back
To love and only love..."
~Bono, Electric Storm
~The Rebecca Review
