Björk - All is Full of Love
Bjork always find great talent to direct her videos, and as a sci-fi fan this may be my favorite.
This 1999 video was directed by Chris Cunningham. The video won multiple awards, including two MTV Video Music Awards for Breakthrough Video and Best Special Effects. It was also nominated for a Grammy for Best Short Form Music Video (it lost to Korn’s “Freak on a Leash”). It was also the first ever music video to win a Gold Pencil at the D&AD Awards. It is on permanent exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The video also placed in “MTV2’s 100 Best Videos Ever” coming in at number 1. After seeing Cunningham’s work on the 1994 film version Judge Dredd, Stanley Kubrick head hunted Cunningham to design and supervise animatronic tests of the central robot child character in his version of the film A.I. Cunningham also directed Aphex Twin’s Come to Daddy.
