Come Into My World

Ok, so first off, the amazing thing about this video is that it is all shot in one take. Kylie is walking around a street corner in Paris. As she walks around, there are many things going on in the background (which is key). Once she makes one loop, she begins to walk around the same corner again only in a different path, interacting with the "previous Kylie" before her. So, for instance, whereas the first Kylie drops her dry cleaning, the second Kylie (or the second loop) picks the dry cleaning up. In the background, the people are also replicating themselves. Every time Kylie reaches the "starting point" of her journey, she "re-loops herself" and thus adds another Kylie into the scene. When Gondry mapped this out, he had to be sure that NO ONE, from Kylie, to all the background characters, could ever be in the same place as anyone who previously came before them. (If they crossed the same space, they would essentially be crossing through each other which would not be physically possible). This is a really complicated video and I am amazed how Gondry pulled it off. If you like it and still have questions, let me know and I can clarify. Really pay attention to the background, there is a lot of stories going on.
