(no subject)

I've just been watching a documentary about Russell Mulcahy's days as a music video director.

I was particularly fascinated by the section about the notorious video for Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" - it turns out Bonnie Tyler has no more idea what it's about than the rest of us, which frankly doesn't surprise me.

(I get the feeling Mulcahy didn't know, either: the way he told it, he was just throwing striking images together - "imagery", he said that a lot - without really thinking about the final effect.)

Also: wow, Bonnie Tyler's accent is completely different when she's just talking.
