Cochon Ville

i'm loving Alex Courtès's video for Sébastien Tellier's latest:

...if you liked it, check out this older video for Sébastien Tellier!

as fun as it is to watch this Courtès video (really takes me back), i have to say that Canada's 2010 one for El Guincho touches on the same themes, but in a more innocent, nuanced & interesting manner. Courtès is a sensationalist; Canada is a collective or true artists. their work has an integrity & finesse that seem to be missing in Courtès show-off approach to filmmaking. don't get me wrong, i very much enjoy the "show off" but at the end of the day, Canada's work has more substance. watch it again HERE!
