The best of this is Yorke’s music, which is fierce and propulsive. But, as visual spectacle, there is a strong so-what? factor.

A Lingering Gaze in a Tedious Dream190909 (2.0)Even during a day of intense ups and downs, what continues to captivate me is that brief, fleeting look in the eyes. The film clearly aimed for a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere, but despite claiming love as its central theme, the portrayal of that love felt incredibly ordinary and sleep-inducing. The narrative lacked the emotional depth needed to sustain its ambitious tone, making the romantic elements feel mundane rather than magical. However, the wall-climbing choreography was a standout moment, offering a burst of creative energy that temporarily broke through the boredom. It’s a pity that the core story couldn’t match the visual intrigue of its dance sequences, leaving behind only the memory of a sharp glance amidst an otherwise drowsy cinematic experience.

I found this thing to very visually engaging. Very different and bold, especially compared to most music videos. Its a great fit for director and performer.
