Video: M83 - "We Own The Sky"

This consest-winning fan video for M83's "We Own The Sky" (off last year's superb Saturdays=Youth) is filled with the same cheese found in most of M83's videos: young pretty people dancing in trendy clothing on anonymous hilltops or in high school dance halls. Yet, its makers have unbelievably managed to get the ever so notorious flying shapes into it! There's a conspiracy going on here and as soon as I get to the bottom of it, I will lobby to pass an international law banning flying shapes of any kind in any music video (or any motion picture of any kind, for that matter!)!! This means war.

Yes the cheese is slowly killing me, and the overall visuals are very well done and filmed. But the flying shapes suddenly turning into happy confetti time with a poorly used still shot of Paris (Eiffel Tower, hint hint, just in case you didn't get it) makes me verp, just a tiny bit. And then I realize that I'm listening to one of the best bands I have ever had the luckability (I claim Corbertism on that word) to see live. So the video is cheese, and really not that good, but damn the music is. Thanks Chris.
