Depeche Mode’s Personal Jesus (Stargate Remix) by Patrick Daughters
Tuesday, 17. May 2011 - 3:30 pm
A stunning video for the Stargate remix of Depeche Mode’s classic Personal Jesus by Patrick Daughters.
A dark night, a mob of superstitious villagers… and a girl about to be subjected to a practice reserved to those suspected of witchcraft. This is how it begins. Things don’t go to plan.
Shot in the Czech Republic – as with Megaforce’s Cadbury’s Charity Shop ad, Riff Raff Films worked with Prague production company Unt Sofa – it’s a sumptuous production, beautifully photographed by Martin Ruhe, with visual effects by MPC in London.
Patrick’s video for Depeche’s Wrong two years ago was brilliant – and so’s this.

I concur with the ‘not a witch’ sentiment. I do feel, however, that she is blessed in some way; heavenly-touched, so to speak. To combine the two types of imagery is just brilliant. Daughters and co outdid themselves.
And, yes, the water shot — wow. That’s NOT an easy shot to do. Just beautiful.
