Top Comments of this video!! :3
That's one of the Frenchiest US video clip ever... So many references here: La Haine obviously (the actors, the shouting, the violence, the old guns) but also La JetƩe (Chris Marker) when you have images shown one after the other (the way it's filmed too) and by proxy Terrry Gilliam's "Twelve Monkeys" and "Brazil" for the architecture (also shot in France)
I feel a hint of Isao Takahata's "Grave of the Fireflies" too, with the butterfliesshining in the darkness, adding to the melancholy but maybe that's just me ^^

The melody at the beginning is from a song called "Despair Came Knocking" by a schizophrenic outsider artist called Daniel Johnston. He produced an album in 1983 but his schizophrenia became overwhelming and he was no longer able to finish the album. The unfinished album, "Hi How Are You", was published. The sound is whimsical and childlike but also deeply haunting.
