Cyriak's videos crack me up...the repetitive images and lumpy, misshapen music make them disconcerting and hilarious at the same time. Here's "Malfunction":

la commune (paris 1871) - dir. by peter watkins part 1 part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDvrjt3qokg La Commune (Paris, 1871) - Wikipedia " La Commune (Paris, 1871) is a 2000 historical drama film directed by Peter Watkins about the Paris Commune. A historical re-enactment in the style of a documentary, the film received much acclaim from critics for its political themes and Watkins' direction.... ... La Commune (Paris, 1871) has been noted for its very large cast. It is mainly non-professional, including many immigrants from North Africa. Members did much of their own research for the project. Watkins once said of the film, "The Paris Commune has always been severely marginalized by the French education system, despite - or perhaps because - it is a key event in the history of the European working class, and when we first met, most of the cast admitted that they knew little or nothing about the subject. It was very important that the people become directly involved in our research on the Paris Commune, thereby gaining an experiential process in analyzing those aspects of the current French system which are failing in their responsibility to provide citizens with a truly democratic and participatory process."

Today it's an episode of "Dereck Reacts". In this episode he reacts to "Estoy Soñando" (I Have A Dream) by ABBA. You can tell he's really getting into this song. Especially when he speaks of the choir in the back. I love this video of ABBA a lot because of the song but also the simplicity of the setting. All four of them just sitting there & singing. I have a photo from this video & it is as gorgeous as the video! If you want to see the video on it's own: https://youtu.be/jlC3otqX8bc Here's the original English version: https://youtu.be/UP4N0irJ-gM
