Bjork vs a gorilla
Rectangular_businessman31 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Michel Gondry surely knows how to capture the spirit of a song in the most unconventional manner anyone can imagine: When I heard Army of Me for the first time, the last thing I certainly wasn't able to imagine something like this, so bizarre and dreamlike.

I certainly didn't picture Bjork driving a monster truck, then fighting against a gorilla dentist for a diamond found on her tongue, and finally comitting a terrorist act in an art museum.

Somehow Gondry knows how to make those bizarre, even ridiculous elements work very well. So glad this video was made, instead of just using clips from the movie Tank Girl.

Milks the practical effect-cow to its last drop; turns it into oil and the carbon into diamond. All rationally shown in old-fashioned aspects.

a truck. the diamond
Kirpianuscus10 September 2022
Fascinating is not the surprising term for define this video and its gray colors , like the song itself. Poetic not only for diamond or for the last scene, for the huge truck and the teeth but for the atmosphere , in which the revolt has new and new nuances.

A video about freedom, about apparences and impressions, about the significance of the other and about self help.

Sure, new demonstration of Bjork art. With same touch of cold realism and sparkles of a child discover of near reality.

More significant, a beautiful story in shades of charcoal. And a great , gentle, precise portrait of near reality.

Good song, wasn't feeling the video though

To say that Bjork makes odd music videos would be underselling her, and though "Army of Me" is one of her best songs, the video - not so much, despite being as odd as anything she's put out. If you're a fan of Bjork (or Michel Gondry), there's a fair chance you might like it. For me, it just felt like a bad little kids show.
