The prettiest body-horror I've seen in a while.

I'm glad that when the camera was pointed up the nose of the gross weird creepy faces that they didn't render boogers.

So much of it looks like intestines I feel like I should eat a salad tonight.

I couldn't do it. I love Bjork but that made me profoundly uncomfortable in a very profoundly uncomfortable way. I skipped ahead to see if it would get less profoundly uncomfortable and nope, it did not.

It's deeply unsettling and anxiety inducing, which is what I love about it. Reminds me very strongly of Annihilation in that way; feeling out of place and having everything askew in new and previously unseen patterns.

This is really setting off my bjorkophobia.

Ah! Beautiful! I loved the grass/ribbon-tentacled creatures at the end dancing like courting birds or fighting snakes.

Nothing natural in this video yet suggestive of so many creatures and plants.

Bjork wins beauty contest for the myconid kingdom, yet again.

Really pretty, and lovely shaders, but the lip synching was really terrible, like worse than video games from two decades ago. So I'm not sure if that was intentional or not.

Long shot but does anyone know of any info about the technical side of this video? (other than just "CG") The effects looked really cool, the artist's name is there but some searching didn't show up anything.

You're so right about the lip sync!

Lovely, has some notes throwing back to the "All Is Full of Love" video. I agree with the "Annihilation" comparison.
