Not content to simply appropriate the entire canon of 80s dance-pop in their musical explorations, French superstars Justice have taken the conceptual video mash-up to a whole new level with this, their recently released video for DVNO.
The idea is pretty straightforward: illustrate words and phrases from the song using visuals derived from familiar TV graphics from the early days of CG. But the execution is nothing short of spectacular. In a breathless initial viewing, we caught hints of an HBO movie bumper, the (original) Battlestar Galactica title sequence, 20th Century Fox's intro reel, the Stephen Bochco Stephen J. Cannell graphic that ended every episode of The A-Team, and something that might have belonged to ABC Afterschool Special. Anyone who grew up watching TV in the 80s may find themselves reeling from the resurrection of so many nearly-forgotten cliches, and blissfully so.
A new high in seamless video retro-fabulousness, and a hell of an object lesson in the subtle power of nostalgia.
