Being a rather diehard Kills fan, I saw this video the day it released. The only problem was it was heavily censored. People kept trying to tell me that it was the art style and that is just how it would be, but Natalia confirmed on her website that there is an uncensored version that just might never see the light of day. Fortunately, despite all the pessimism, it did get released.
The video is very dark. It all takes place inside of a mansion where a dinner party is taking place. The only problem is the food is all laced with pills -- an important fact you would miss in the edited version. The entire video has a grindhouse feel to it as if she made a B Budget movie. The video is all a buildup to the breakdown where the girls are all beaten down by their suppressors in a very quiet and tense moment. In the end, Natalia pays for her crimes.
This is one of my favorite music videos. I find it to be quite genius and beautiful. Check it out and see what you think.
That has a very "Alice" feeling to it actually.
