Summary: This is one great Video!
Comment: I seriously don't understand how a Bjork fan couldn't like this kind of visual feast? Who else but B would allow a camera to stand inchs from her face where every pore is seen? And to have such excited, jumping looking material jumping from the orivices of her face? Truly, it is stunning. And really does fit the song. Listen to interviews Bjork has given about Vespertine as a whole, and she constantly brings up the idea of "creative feelings encircling your head." Sound a little like the video? Yes, it certainly does. <3

Summary: for the suckers
Comment: This DVD single has a total of four songs on it. Two of them are the same song, just recorded differently (one in stereo and one in a 5.1 surround mix). They are set to the same video, which features a close-up of Bjork's face discharging a computer-generated mucus. The camera circles around her face as the mucus comes out of her eyes, down her face, under her chin (where she merrily attempts to taste it), up into her nose, and back out her eyes. Little drawings pop up on her cheek every once in a while, just to offer a break from the mucus. The whole process repeats itself for about five minutes.Amazed at the artistic genius? Think that Bjork is just being her usual nutty, crazy, lovable self? Well, wait for the real goodies: "Generous Palmstroke" features a white duck on a black background (one of the trademarks of Bjork), which sits there for the whole song, unmoving. "Verandi" features the same duck, but this time it's colored black against a white background. How's that for creativity?
Is the music good? YES. But, this is a DVD, and I assume you're looking for more than just music. You're looking for images, the artist's visual perception of her songs. "Hidden Place" was interesting to watch once, and disgusting every time after that. Buy this only if you must own everything that is Bjork. But personally, I can't believe I wasted my money on this DVD. Learn from me and don't make the same mistake.

Summary: Gross and boring
Comment: Don't get me wrong, I think Bjork's one of the best and most original artists in the post-modern era. But not everything she does is worthy of praise, take this video for instance. Many great video artists like Bjork, Madonna, Radiohead, etc. have put out a bad one every once a while."Hidden Place" wasn't the best single to release off the lovely "Vespertine" album, sadly the video makes the song even worse. It's a 5 1/2 minute tediously long close-up shot of a seemingly naked Bjork while computer-generated mucus comes flying in and out of her nose, mouth, eyes, and hair. She gleefully tastes the goo without a care in the world. It's quite gross, guess that's the "hidden place" she was referring to. Yuck!
Of course a work of art doesn't necessarily have to make sense all the time, but it should at least be interesting. Watching mucus float in and out of Bjork's face isn't worth my time. Bjork was just trying to be her usual odd self just for the heck of it, and it failed bigtime.
There are some cool moments with the travelling CG mucus morphing into a wireframe snake or line art. And the cover art is nice, but I recommend that you download the video from her website before you decide to purchase it or not.
Luckily she comes back to full form in the "Pagen Poetry" video, but that's another story.

Summary: I'm a fan of Bjork, but this video (stinks)
Comment: This video was painful to watch and, in my opinion, not as good as her earlier stuff. This is compared with her Volumen DVD, which has much better videos and a stronger collection of songs. This entire video shows Bjork with (...) running around her face. I miss the predominance of stings and melody that were on her earlier songs. The chanting Indian back-up singers are simply annoying. The 2 audio tracks seem only for die-hard fans, there is also no melody and they are not memorable. During the audio tracks, a white bird drawing stays on your screen. They could have at least made a screen saver, like Moby did for the audio tunes on his DVD. Compared with her groundbreaking videos such as Joga or I Miss You, this one is a lot less interesting.
