Absurd Violence

The fantastic Warp Films has brought us some more goodies with a fantastic new(ish) music video and more promised to come. Richard Ayoade (who acted in and directed the hilarious and underrated “Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place”) directs an awesome video for the Arctic Monkey’s “Fluorescent Adolescent” in which a gang of clowns and some East End gangsters beat each other up in a burnt out industrial estate. There is something poetic about slowmo violence, particularly when it involves clowns.

Kind of reminded me of those classic Trigger Happy TV sketches with the guys dressed as dogs who beat each other up. Absurd Violence.
