i just finished watching through all of gaspar noe's music videos. or i saw most of "Protège-Moi." i can only find it in low quality. an auteur's swing at porn art. i'm not really sure about their chronology, but i wonder if the girl wandering through the orgy is referencing the girl walking through the party in "Insanely Cheerful." which is a pretty standard music video. i keep watching it again and again because something about it lifts the feeling of responsibility. the video is a simpler version of his processed signatures. "Arielle" is an early stab at Enter the Void's style. that's the only movie i've seen by him. i could see it in a lot of the videos. not in "We No Who U R," which is nothing. in "Love in Motion," which is definitely his strangest video. i actually like the beginning with his camera flipping thing, his weird lighting and credits, how the name of the song/video above the girl's bed, the glimpse of her in the mirror. then how the camera snaps to focus. though i'm not gaspar's biggest fan, i don't want to believe he is lame enough to make a video like this as a way to comment on the digitized and sexualized aspect of the new generation's environment. i don't have any other theories. it's real goal is to show a pretty cool, creepy set and create a bad feeling in the pit of of your stomach, but i'm sure he has some other satisfactorily ostentatious explanation.
the video that prompted the search is the best. "Applesauce." happens to feature a model i've heard of.
