The camera hones in on the actor’s face, which is a mask of panic-a visceral, sweaty kind of discomfort native to air travel.
Immediately, Wilson establishes an atmosphere of deep anxiety as a man in a suit sprints through an airport to catch his plane. The video for Tame Impala’s “Let It Happen,” directed by David Wilson, is the year’s best example of an artistic music video. And while most finished products are fairly forgettable, it’s always gratifying when something beautiful is created. Instead, it’s more of an abstract connection-the director translates the emotions of the song, rather than the lyrics. When you think about it, music videos are a strange genre that comes with a loaded question: How do you interpret a song? Most modern songs don’t tell a linear story, so it’s not like the musician or director can follow a script.
Is it fair to ask for artistic depth from a music video? Maybe not-maybe it’s only reasonable to demand entertainment.
