New Blonde Redhead Video

This video, the latest from Blonde Redhead (and taken from their most recent album 23), was directed by Mike Mills. No, not the REM bassist, but rather, the director of acclaimed indie Thumbsucker. The conceit of "Top Ranking" is that the video is "one pose per second," so the model (film director Miranda July, best known for helming Me and You and Everyone We Know) strikes over 200 poses. From what I understand, it's a live-action take-off on stopmotion animation.
Pretty cool stuff.
