London (harder, better, faster, stronger) from David Hubert on Vimeo.
In this video, scenes from cosmopolis are paired with the relentless bass of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" for an arresting combination. Londoners are seen walking, climbing, driving, drinking-- ever moving, moving, moving towards places unknown. One among the things I like about this piece is how, intentionally or not, the filmmaker illuminates the frantic nature of 21st century life (cue Sam Sparro here) as lived by Anglo-Saxon dominated cultures. We are driven ever onward but the journey is more about pace and intensity than arrival.
