1:58 The footage was originally uncensored, after about 3 weeks of the video being posted they blurred it. It was a video of a guy trying to cut another guys arm about the elbow.
Establishing the 80s sitcom scene then introducing the smartphone was very surreal and kinda broke my brain. The video suits the song and enhanced the vibe of it for me. Anachronistic decay.
This is some masterful shit right here. This feels like finding an old blank VHS someone recorded movies and sitcoms on overlapping each other. That smart phone made it super surreal
"What is this?" - the actress deserves some kinda award just for perfectly nailing that sitcom voice, and actually adds to the song more than just the audio on the album and the vibe / aesthetic of this.
How she looks away when her husband goes for the telephone on the wall, the head nod of approval... It makes this video feel incredibly authentic, like a lost sitcom pilot.
It's nice to see an artist explore retro aesthetics in a way that channels universal angst and emotional turmoil that is timeless and not just slick revisionist nostalgia.

the internet is not evil, it portrays evil because it's an open window into the human soul. i particularly feel that the generation that had an early adolescence coinciding with the mainstream internet access carries a fear and guilt about being misunderstood about what the internet is all about to their parents
I think facilitating evil and being evil (evil in this case not being gore, but corrosive, hateful, ignorant, destructive etc. speech and ideas) can and do overlap. I think by thinking the opposite that you excuse the worst of humanity as just being our “nature” and not a choice (I don’t mean to offend you, I just want to share my take). Additionally there are the practical examples/arguments as the other commenter mentioned, about how strongly immoral behavior is used to administrate and preserve the internet service, amongst others. When thinking about internet gore though, and I think you implied this, I believe the disgust is justified. I personally don’t think it provides any further constructive value or fulfills a necessity: therefore, I don’t think it has much of a right or reason to exist. However, thinking about the scenario presented in the video, I think it’s better to be level-headed and attempt to understand than to jump to being reactive and destructive. Although, this scenario is inherently surreal and unrealistic, which muddies the idea of what the “right thing” to do was, but if you’re taking it seriously then I have to too for the sake of argument.
History will be kind to Daniel Lopatin. He has been changing the game for the past 14 years, I'm happy the Safdie brothers and The Weeknd are giving him exposure and the credit he deserves.
@@JasonTopo Well, if you look at popular music as far back as The Beatles they were inspired by avant garde composers (Stockhausen, Cage) and more niche underground music; you got this in the 90’s, too, where people like Madonna wanted to work with Aphex Twin, who also influenced Radiohead and even John Frusciante. I think I was a bit wrong to say “always”, but it happens a lot of the time in popular music.
This was all really emotionally painful and I'm not sure why.. Feels exactly like a bad mushroom trip (i've never had a good mushrooms trip so it's my only point of reference).
@@olsonbryce777 It makes me feel like I'm the Antichrist sometimes. Literally everyone I know has had amazing positive experiences with mushrooms. For me the "journey" feels more like a crucible than a positive experience.
This video is the perfect depiction of the contemporary mind as the infinite influx of information renders the self null in a vast sea of dadaist postmodernism.
I just still. In my body, my mind and my spirit. Can't focus on these influx wells of seeds attacking my brain. I used to be ao captured. In grips of what i thought things were and ought to be. Now I see, i am truly Free.
It is as if one poured Boards of Canada, television of my early teens, and angsty metal on cassette from '87 into Google's Deep Dream convolutional neural network. The resulting music and accompanying video are so evocative and full of painful nostalgia for reasons that are hard to pinpoint.
@@MasDouc The intro choppy radio voices, the subtle tape hiss, the flute-like synth line hiding underneath at :10, the guitar treatment is like unto ChromaKey Dreamcoat, the whole heavily chorused things-going-in-and-out of pitch center, the vocoded vox ala A Beautiful Place Out in the Country, etc. It is like unto the Deep Dream AI re-processing that those elements and more and I really DIG IT.
@@secretdecoder Beautifully summarized. Both he and BoC generally stretch the limits of electronic music and their music operates in some abstract framework that defies genre boundaries.
This makes me feel like I'm sick at home on a school day, nauseous and with a high fever, flipping through daytime TV, feeling slightly disconnected from reality.
Do you ever imagine something you love, art for example, comtinuinf past its end or creating its own unique continuation of the themes, aesthetics and vibes that the original piece creates? I felt that sometimes. As if I know what i want from musix but i almost want it curated, marinated if I may, to what I personally like. Just me maybe...
@@BoroPrideHoorah oh they're just my friends and I'm really proud of them lol

Yeah, and it's also going to be the end of their carreer. When you put thus exploit footage of young kid getting tortured, dismembered and killed for cheap edgy value, you'll get what's coming at you...
02:00 Why is the kid watching someone get their arm hacked off on his phone? Can anyone explain this reference or make some kind of sense of it? I'm assuming here that the kid was watching it when he had to hide his phone, that's why it plays when his mum looks at it.
It's less common now, but the internet exposed a lot of people to real life shocking content in a way that hadn't really happened before it came around. Eg. 3 guys one hammer was a video of a man being murdered om film that went viral in the 2000s. (I would not recommend searching for obvious reasons) I think the primary focus in this scene is less that this is what he was looking at, but this is what the parents see. Ie. The worst/most dangerous aspects of the internet
I think if you didn't go through it, you won't understand it. I thought it was a brilliant way of capturing a moment of adolescence that I'm sure only has risen in the past decade or two: discovering the first internet video that genuinely traumatizes you. For me, it was watching the beheading of a Russian soldier when I was 13. All my friends have similar stories. This moment in the video, the way the parents reacted, the concern and anger at the device rather than addressing their child and why they seeked out such content: all brilliantly addressed.
I wondered "wtf" so I googled about Mama and her story is fascinating. Don't know what that scary ice skating person is about though... but I love this whole creation. Especially when the kid goes to play his guitar.
The main problem in hauntology is not only the cultural obsession that stops the progress but also the destruction of any believeable hope that can ever follow such a unique time like ours. Humanity came from large communities of disconnected individuals with little information to a huge connected collective of individuals with too much information to take in. We are really lost but never alone (in a way).
This trope from media of parents destroying the unknown rather than attempting to fathom it, as if they see the existence of it as a defiance to their un-questioninable authority has always baffled me. I've had my things destroyed like that, out of petty showings of dominance. These actors play a perfect broken family. A violent narcissist father, a slightly sympathetic but ultimately enabling mother, and the estranged child who's identity struggles so hard to exist in this environment that it is forced to drastic measures, using every resource available to express themselves. This is a song about living tragedy, violence against the self, and a loss of trust. The skater, losing herself to survival, her trust of the safety of the park going away. Mama losing her driving will in the face of the beyond, her trust in life itself is gone. The teen, struggling to have a self at all, loses trust in the only ones they should be able to depend on. the common theme, is a complete submersion into the self. And thru all the violence from others, the world, or even life as a whole, identity thrives.
the emotions the boy conveys with his face are incredible, especially in that last moment when the room breaks away and he loses himself in the guitar. amazing stuff
The Safdies are gods, the combination of visual and auditive aesthetic art culminates into a deeply evokative state of mind. This is a perfect music video!
If you've ever listened to Tangerine Dream at some point, School Play can remind you a bit of their album Phaedra in some parts. Ngl, when I first watched Uncut Gems, I was thinking to myself, "What kind of Tangerine Dream worship is going on here?
yeah i was wondering what i was. i used to love bestgore, rotten, face of death, all that shit. i was curious like he was. now i'm fucked up and realize that shit did NOT help. lol. it truly looked and felt like a real video.. so it is, i guess. not one i've seen. not sure what's going on but either way, looks like someone wanted that arm off that body.
'how do you play with the fabrication of your reality through your symbolical experiences of a plural yet individual past?'. this is a perfect representation of a present of lost futures forever haunted by historically symbolical 'ghosts'. It is post-modern, hyperrealistic and dualistic: the past haunts us and we haunt the past by trying to get it back.
Anyone else wondering how and why they used that footage of a dude getting his arm hacked In a mud pit. That is a real video and a big risk for them to take? Anyone got any Information bout them using it
Yeah, I was shocked. I've only seen that video about 3 weeks ago. It's horrifying. Would love to know the legality of it. I like that its there. It's shocking but it's reality. I think that the director is pushing the boundaries here. Not to celebrate death but the reality of what phones do for us. What the internet does.
@@zogrush I don't think its illegal. What is the illegal part? Using a video that isnt their own? There's also no visible blood. I'm not sure it's illegal. And if its copyright infringement, something tells me the guy that recorded it, isn't going to dispute it. It seem like a completely grey area.
@@quirkypurple The orginal video is a teenage boy from brazill getting hacked apart then killed...im pretty sure showing that type of footage and marketing it is highly illegal.
@@zogrush Your talking about the whole video of a teen in Brazil. No need to explain it to me. I've watched the video. What we actually see in this Safdie Brothers video is in about 2-3 seconds. That's what counts. There is no blood, no murder committed in the 2-3 seconds. I'm thinking like a filmmaker with the censors. There is low-res violence with no blood. And no blood could be the key. Also, I'm guessing the Safdie Brothers are smart and have some sort of legal assistance helping them make their films. So you can keep telling me it's "highly Illegal" but that's not explaining anything. What is "highly" illegal anyway? Something is either legal or illegal. There's no "highly" or "lowly."

Literally how he came up with the name. He reversed SEVEN to NEVES then NEVER and there you go.
one of the greatest songs of all time
I hope the Safdie Brothers and OPN keep doing work together. It's like a new wave movement of cinema and music.
EXACTLY. It's something new, exciting, deeply emotional and meaningful
Lmao yeah making remixes for the weeknd to 17yr girls sure is innovating
@@ElliotOffen Safdie Brothers and OPN? Huh? Lay off the crack pipe man
Today one year ago i found this masterpiece through Josh&Benny Safdie, i listened to it like a maniac since then and i love it the more i hear it
1:59 HERE COMES THE STRIKE
Yeah this should probably be on vimeo with still life
when dad catches you watching gore
@「 dark cyberia 」 would it matter?
@「 dark cyberia 」 looks like it to me but the only way to be sure would be to ask the safdies on twitter
@「 dark cyberia 」 yes it's real
This is one of my favorite artists. Especially taking the long road home
Wherever I see Lopatin and Safdie brothers I remember The Ballad Of Howie Bling. Fucking masterpiece
If you've ever listened to Tangerine Dream at some point, School Play can remind you a bit of their album Phaedra in some parts.
Ngl, when I first watched Uncut Gems, I was thinking to myself, "What kind of Tangerine Dream worship is going on here?
That guitar solo is so chilling...
OPN remains one of the most cutting-edge and unique musicians to date, both musically and visually
This is the first opn song I have heard
I am definitely checking our more of his music now
damn I love seeing the safdies direct more MV's, the one for Marcy Me was incredible as well!
теперь это мой любимый клип!!! Спасибо Даня!
That was a real person getting his arm cut off on the mobile
Yeah and it's illegal to publish or distribut such content, for good reasons.
yeah they got owned
Looked like something straight off BestGore
yeah i was wondering what i was. i used to love bestgore, rotten, face of death, all that shit. i was curious like he was. now i'm fucked up and realize that shit did NOT help. lol. it truly looked and felt like a real video.. so it is, i guess. not one i've seen. not sure what's going on but either way, looks like someone wanted that arm off that body.
@@bastardmike3052 ya that stuff does not help
Anybody know what the creepy ice skater clip is sampled from?
That clip at the end was pretty cool too...
the movie is called curtains (1983) and its free on youtube :)
Faith in Electronic Music Restored !
'how do you play with the fabrication of your reality through your symbolical experiences of a plural yet individual past?'. this is a perfect representation of a present of lost futures forever haunted by historically symbolical 'ghosts'. It is post-modern, hyperrealistic and dualistic: the past haunts us and we haunt the past by trying to get it back.
This pushes the bar, amazing. Nothing is fixed.
Does anybody else get oddly emotional watching this?
When I first heard this song it reminded me of the Forensic Files theme music, and this music video really fits with that.
I have no idea what I just discovered but I love it
This is one of the better music videos I've seen in a looong time. Brilliant.
Wild journey as always Mr Lopatin! thankyou 💫
Found this strangely moving. This and Crack Cloud's "Pain Olympics" are my top albums this year.
Thanks for the recommendation. Gonna check that out.
Anyone else wondering how and why they used that footage of a dude getting his arm hacked In a mud pit.
That is a real video and a big risk for them to take? Anyone got any Information bout them using it
Yeah, I was shocked. I've only seen that video about 3 weeks ago. It's horrifying. Would love to know the legality of it. I like that its there. It's shocking but it's reality. I think that the director is pushing the boundaries here. Not to celebrate death but the reality of what phones do for us. What the internet does.
@@quirkypurple just makes me wonder because I mean technically what they are doing is illegal but then again so is half of Daniel's samples.
@@zogrush I don't think its illegal.
What is the illegal part? Using a video that isnt their own? There's also no visible blood. I'm not sure it's illegal.
And if its copyright infringement, something tells me the guy that recorded it, isn't going to dispute it.
It seem like a completely grey area.
@@quirkypurple The orginal video is a teenage boy from brazill getting hacked apart then killed...im pretty sure showing that type of footage and marketing it is highly illegal.
@@zogrush Your talking about the whole video of a teen in Brazil. No need to explain it to me. I've watched the video.
What we actually see in this Safdie Brothers video is in about 2-3 seconds. That's what counts. There is no blood, no murder committed in the 2-3 seconds. I'm thinking like a filmmaker with the censors. There is low-res violence with no blood. And no blood could be the key.
Also, I'm guessing the Safdie Brothers are smart and have some sort of legal assistance helping them make their films.
So you can keep telling me it's "highly Illegal" but that's not explaining anything. What is "highly" illegal anyway? Something is either legal or illegal. There's no "highly" or "lowly."
that guitar shredding solo was weeping and syncing with my tears. it's so beautiful
I knew something was up!! Directed by safdie, good times
todo dia eu venho aqui ver esse clipe celoko
This is so artistic and meaningful in a very reality sort of way , I love the 80s vibe too
Waiting for more pure sounds like this 👍🏻
So you're telling me Jon Rafman had absolutely NOTHING to do with this one?
Shoutout you for putting me on to this guy
@@Ecotechnologist u dont wanna get put onto that guy bro
@@ajp8025 why not
@@ayle1312 because gatekeeping is fun
@@ayle1312 I watched two videos now I'm in the hospital trying get past some real demons
At first I thought they were clips from TV shows. All these all these all these all these all these all these actors were hired JUST FOR THIS SONG.
I thought the same thing but the horror character on ice skates is from an actual 80s movie.
