Against the Moon

the video intended to double the dichotomy between affirmation and repentance that's present in Elias Bender Rønnenfelt lyric set. While aspects of that do come through (with a vengeance), it's the ambiguity that winds up taking center stage; nearly all of "Against The Moon" is composed of effortlessly arresting one-shots, refusing to let its characters intertwine on an explicit or definitive level. Every moment of staging is rooted more in suggestion than cause or consequence, forcing the viewer to face an array of uncomfortable questions and grapple with things as essential as empathy. It's a revolving door of character study, presenting each subject with equal care, unafraid to focus in on what appear to be their lowest moments. It's a psychological nightmare. It's a brutally meticulous examination of standards. It's a an unfailingly harsh reminder of life's darkest corners. It's beyond important; it's necessary- and, most of all, it's a masterpiece."
