A wonderful track. Emily Kai Brock males even more wonderful as a top video producer should do. Video direction at its best. The storyline is quickly established and very soon empathy with each character is achieved. The struggle of a widowed father trying to do the best for his 2 sons who both desperately miss their mother. A father who wants to provide everything his late wife would have. The bond between the 3 is strong. The elder son needs to have his freedom and hang out with his peers. The father equally needs to escape. Hard to believe this is a video for an album track. The director squeezes so much emotion out of the story using the music to help tell the story. Of course Arcade Fire are a phenomenal band and recognize great talent. Watch out for this director. I sincerely hope the promise shown in this video is given the opportunity to flourish.
