Stellar moment for Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Rodrigo_Amaro25 February 2023
From R. E. M. Final album comes the track "Überlin" and this is wildly vivid and spectacular music video directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson and acted by her husband actor Aaron Taylor Johnson ("Nocturnal Animals", "Kick-Ass" franchise). In a series of long takes Aaron dances his way through the streets in a series of unconventional and amazing moves, jumping around on sidewalks, stairs, posts, balancing and spinning on spaces and places. Some of those moves of his are hysterically funny, yet he expresses many emotions, not just his body but also his facial expressions in complete synergy with each move and the song as well (though slightly melancholic). And Aaron goes through several ways and streets until finally reach his destiny and strike some awesome pose (one frozen as he stops dancing and sits down; and a final one with a pole dance routine).

Highly unusual but a quite memorable video - the song is very good too. 9/10.
