i know this isn't technically a film...

But the video Flash Delirium by MGMT is blowing my mind. If I tried to describe it to you, it would be an epic failure. Even though I love the band, their videos tend to scare me. MGMT's video for Kids was frightening for two reasons: children and children who see demons that no one else sees. While this video is void of any psychic children, it does include ventriloquist dummies (hate them), dancing old people(love them), and a windpipe that talks. Yeah, I know. And even though I covered my eyes for the most part, I was still engaged and even enchanted by the images. The video, which can really be considered a short film, is beautifully filmed and makes you think about what MGMT's message is. What do I think the video's message is? I don't think there is one. Maybe it's an ode to Oscar Wilde and aestheticism. Or maybe they just like fucking with their fans. I have no clue, but I think I'll be watching this video until MTV replays it 400 times to make me sick. Bitches!
