Spike Jonze & Kanye West Team Up To Tell Dark Fairy Tale
SYNGERISTS APPLAUD!
On the tail of a naughty boy-wolf named Max comes this twisty video starring Kanye West as his drunk self with auteur Spike Jonze always hoovering just out of view.
This mini art flick was released on Sunday just after headlines appeared that Jonze's big-screen masterpiece Where The Wild Things Are had stolen off with its opening weekend's box office.
The timing of the release surely is meant to build on the drumbeat over Jonze's critically acclaimed adaptation of the modern fairy tale, Where The Wild Things Are. And, perhaps, to frame Kanye as tragic figure in a story of his own making.
This video was shot before Kanye's drunken performance at the VMAs. So I have to wonder: Was life imitating art that fateful evening?
Look at me! Look at me! Aren't I -- fucked up?!
Gotta hand it to them both, though: you can't look away at the accident contrived for screen.
