Movie Reviews of Death Cab for Cutie - Directions

Movie Review: Great Fun
Summary: 5 Stars

While some of the videos may be uncreative and boring (Soul Meets Body), others are highly creative and a lot of fun to watch. With most, it's easy to see why the pitch won; many of the videos included in Directions are fun and vibrant interpretations of the DCfC songs.

Note that these videos were made from fan-submitted pitches for music videos, and are not the official music videos. From what I've gathered, a contest was held some time ago for best pitch for each song (apparently, there was only one entry for Soul Meets Body). My vote for the best video in the entire collection goes to Crooked Teeth, which is by itself worth the purchase price.

Summary of Death Cab for Cutie - Directions

Death Cab for Cutie presents: Directions, an innovative anthology of 11 short films inspired by each song on the band's acclaimed album Plans. Every song was directed by a different director and includes 2 bonus videos of unreleased songs. The unprecedented collection came about as the brainchild of otaku-house, the production company owned and run by childhood friends Nick Harmer, bassist for Death Cab for Cutie, and video director Aaron Stewart-Ahn. They saw the opportunity to enlist a variety of talented young artists to each make a short film set to a Death Cab song, without the constraints of the traditional music video- no arbitrary performance footage, the band themselves would not appear in the films. The ultimate goal was to create a series of small films that worked together as both individual pieces of art and as a unified whole. Track Listings: Marching Bands of Manhattan, Soul Meets Body, Summer Skin, Different Names for the Same Thing, I Will Follow You Into the Dark, Your Heart Is An Empty Room, Someday You Will Be Loved, Crooked Teeth, What Sarah Said, Brothers on a Hotel Bed, Stable Song, Talking like Turnstiles.
