A Perfect Circle Judith

The video consists of the band performing in a large, empty studio with many of Fincher's signature cinematic tricks employed (dark smoky lighting, obscuring of faces, extensive film scratching and frame manipulation). All original members are depicted in the video, along with bassist Paz Lenchantin seen putting her hair in a bun between the end of the first chorus and the beginning of the second verse, in which the bass drops out, for a drum and lead guitar-only section. However, she could not do it fast enough in real time during the filming, and consequently the section was slightly sped up for the filmed action to fit the space within the song. This is one of my favorite music video since it first came out back in the day. Only recently have I realized that this was directed by David Fincher. It all makes sense. He took a standard idea of a video and turned it into cinematic verite.

A Perfect Circle Judith Lyrics

It's just the band playing inside a warehouse with nobody around. It's all up to him to add the flash and excitement that fits the music. My favorite move (and probably everybody else) is bassist Paz Lenchantin tying up her hair into a bun during a short break.

She has such a cool vibe. It's the simplest and most memorable of music video moves.
