Electronic: Getting Away with It (First UK Version)

Some facts related to this version directed by Chris Marker ("La Jetée"): the video does not include a trip to a zoo neither Catherine Belkhodja appears in it. Whoever included as a plot read the exact bit from wikipedia that has a note attached to it which links an interview with a clip director and it has nothing to do with it. Guess someone did got away it in here.

Anyway, this Electronic music video for the single "Getting Away with it" shows the supergroup formed by Neil Tennant, Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr performing the song on a studio, seated in front of microphones and many pedestals in front of them. Massive close-up shots of Sumner and Tennant, and of both filmed on the exact same frame as they're vocals for the band, as Marr is a little obscured in the background with his guitar, being the mysterious guy.

It's a fine video whose main attraction is the lovely song from the trio, since performance acts aren't much spectacular unless if there's something else going on, some peculiar moment or fun bit happening. It's greatly edited with its transition of images going from one face to the other. If the wiki info is correct than maybe for some odd reason it was edited out and the only bit from the zoo that remained is a quick still of an animal - completely random moment, but there's no woman here. US clip version is a little more fun to watch with its colorful effects. Yet both videos go on the same lenght and both don't include the song's finale with some strings perfectly closing the track. 8/10.
