Plot
Members of a cult of sorts revolt against their megalomaniacal leader. The Los Angeles-based choreographer Nina McNeely conceived a freaky dance performance for this ecstatic music video for the London-based rock band Black Midi. The surreal scenery is intensified by computer-animated structures, and the dancers’ exaggerated facial expressions—reminiscent of early expressionist cinema—are a pretty clear indication of the video’s humorous conclusion.
