Nine Inch Nails: Closure (1997)

Load of rubbish!!

Absolutely Fantastic

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

OK...I have this on a double tape. It's going to be coming out on DVD sometime in the future with more footage. Hopefully there will be the entire catalog of music videos available, but who can say? Inbetween songs, there is some vintage footage that Mr. Reznor has chosen himself, along with some other help from various people. What else can I say? Some of the clips in-between songs include the electrocution of an adult elephant, a fly super glued to a chair juggling various little items (he's actually trying to run on these items, and it looks like he's juggling). Totally worth the money (which I don't think is very much...if you can find it that is).

Oh yes.. love that video to death though it makes me grab my testes to make sure they are still there. I would absolutely kill to have Closure on DVD. I'm a huge []\[] [] []/[] fan. Trent Reznor is my christ.The video which so terribly disturbed the previous poster, Happiness In Slavery, is about the terrible consequences of submittance and conformity. Kinda reminds me of the atmosphere for The Matrix.The actor is mr. Bob Flanagan a performance actor whom Trent hired to be in the video.The central theme depicts a nakid man (Flanagan) strapped to a torture machine looking much like a dentist chair being systematically disembowled. He is then further eviscerated alive by a 3 fingered metallic claw.The brutal piece climaxes with close ups of the victim's nipples being torn off and a wooden board smacking him in the testicals.The man's clothes are burned and his remains are fed into a grinder to feed the flowers. Trent walks in, lights a candle, sets it on the sink and prepares to go thru what the man before him did. A shocking and interesting video artwork. Of course MTV banned this video (Yet they had no problems airing gun brandishing Gansta Rap videos) and the Brittish censors ordered it to never be shown or duplicated in that country again. -BlazeFoxKitsune =^.^>

I was really scared the first time i saw this film, well the second film i watched them the wrong way round, but even so they are still visually stimulating and mentally mind-numbing. Definitely worth there money and weight in gold. The first video is a treat a collection of NIN videos for the not so MTV friendly world, including tunes like head like a hole and wish. The second is an assault of violence giving a sneak view of the self destruct tour, which is just amazing for those pour NIN fans that haven't seen them live. Roar untamed hedonistic power.

"Closure," an extensive video compilation released in November 1997 by Nine Inch Nails, contained two tapes. The first tape follows the infamous group around on a 1994-96 tour. The second tape contains all Nine Inch Nails videos ever produced, except for one particular video, for the song from the Oliver Stone movie, "Natural Born Killers." (The name of this song is called "Burn.")The video segments are sometimes too disturbing and uncomfortable to watch (the videos for "Sin," and "Happiness In Slavery" come to mind.) The rest of the videos, as bizarre as they may be, are slyly connected by the director by interesting, if not partially disturbing segments.At its best, tape two of "Closure," seems to have been produced without any compromising of aesthetic goals. At its worst, "Closure" proves to be too sickening to be enjoyed. Keep the remote control handy, because you'll want to fast forward through a few of the clips. Some "watchable" videos include "Head Like a Hole," "Down In It," "Wish," "Eraser/Hurt/Wish (Live)," "March of the Pigs," and "The Perfect Drug."Even if you can stomach extremely disturbing stuff, this one might cause a second or two of crawling skin. Enjoy, NINnies.
