Interpol : "The Heinrich Maneuver"

I have put off posting "The Heinrich Maneuver" for quite some time. My only reason for not making this post until now, had something to do with the idea, that saving the best, for the absolute last minute, is ideally the best possible thing to do. Much like when we were younger, all of us relished our bag of goods after a visit to the candy store. Some of us ate only a small portion daily, but stowed away larger quantities for a special day. Likewise, it's time this immensely disturbing video got some air-time.

It is as haunting as it is intriguing. With broad strokes and the help of Paul Banks' choice of cryptic symbols for words, "The Heinrich Maneuver" is dazzling. The story unfolds slowly as, frame-by-frame, our perception pans out in impressionistic bravado.

I can't help but feel this video flirts with some sort of symbolism, as its emergent characters divert, and regress back into the frame.
