Have you had ENOUGH? What are you going to do about it? (SLVimeo)
The one where she lays down in defeat after having missed the bus. I have done this.
Late one night, after a bad day in what felt at the time like an unending series of bad weeks that might be adding up to a shitty life, I laid down in the gutter in front of my apartment building. I'd had a few drinks and wanted to test out what was increasingly looking like the future. I stayed there for about ten minutes, looking up at the trees and listened to somebody practicing piano down the block, then went inside and got in bed. Sometimes, it seems like only logical thing to do.

At 0:58, laughing cell phone guy on the bus . . . the little clench of her hand . . . magnificent. It's like she's been inside my mind.

This is greeeeat.
You have to watch the general mayhem streetfight scene right after the slowwalkers get pushed down the stairs about sixteen times to appreciate all the amazing acts of violence and transgression that she packs in. Are there recurring characters? It's hard to know because they are all indistinguishable grey threads in the uniformly tragic tapestry that is, I guess, London. I do know there are recurring outfits and recurring hairstyles. That leopard-print shirt appears at least twice. I want to see everything this woman does.

I am not a person who loses their temper easily, but last year after I found out that someone within the organization I work for was attempting to deliberately and with malice aforethought wrong me* I did my best to kick a hole in the side of the elevator and then left the building and rage-chugged a beer at the nearest restaurant.
* this attempt was ultimately thwarted with the assistance of my union

The fact that one of the other people joins her!

Reminds me of this Radiohead clip, the lying in the street and someone joins them.
