More dispatches from the world of Sigue Sigue Sputnik. Unlike previous mentions in this blog, however, they're not here for straddling that line between really clever and really ridiculous that I like so much, but for having done something that's actually rather good. This is the video to "Dancerama" (1989), but the focus here isn't on the song (although, as one of the YouTube comments says, sounding a bit like the good years of Roxy Music is never a bad thing) but very much on the video, which takes the form of an homage to cult French art-house sci-fi film La Jetée (1962). My favourite element is the lines of text scrolling across the bottom of the screen.
Thanks to Tom for originally bringing the video to my attention.

Never really thought about it before, but I'm quite impressed they actually went to Paris to shoot the video. Standard 80s procedure would have been to shoot the Basildon Arndale Centre at outlandish angles as a cheaper stand-in.
