Another in this series of music video directors. Anton is a Dutch artist who's DVD seems to be filled with an abundance of bad synth music and unwatchable black and white videos. In fact, I'd skip everything from his early career and go straight to some of his newer stuff. Unfortunately, it's not much better.That is except for the BRILLIANT video for Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box. For someone so versed in black and white photography, he makes EXCELLENT use of color throughout the video. He is able to capture the essence of Nirvana the band, each member individually, and their music. The images are both shocking and beautiful at the same time. It's a masterpiece.
Beyond that, the Henry Rollins clip is pretty good, and the MTV promos are hilarious. Everything else is a timewaster.
Rating: C-
Heart Shaped Box video: A+
