For this music video, he collaborated with director Benjamin Seroussi and choreographer Damien Jalet, who—upon listening to the track—was inspired by the 1970 Akira Kurosawa film Dodes’ka-den about a Tokyo slum-dweller with special needs who dreams of becoming a train trolley driver in a post-apocalyptic town made of rust and scrap metal. “Benjamin suggested shooting in this incredible tower whose bare iron structure has the rhythm and aspect of an abandoned train track,” says the choreographer, referring to the haunting Pleyel Tower in Saint Denis, Paris, which has been completely stripped for refurbishment.
