Massive Attack’s Paradise Circus by Toby Dye
David Knight - 15th Jan 2010
It's not what you might expect from the first video of a new Massive Attack album.
Toby Dye's film for Paradise Circus is a short documentary, an interview with Georgina Spelvin, the eponymous star of The Devil In Miss Jones - apparently the seventh most successful film at the box office in 1973, and certainly one of the most famous porn movies of all time.
The track, with vocals from Hope Sandoval, is the soundtrack to the film in which Spelvin, an unglamourous but articulate (and still passionate) seventy-something, offers considerable insight into why TDIMJ was such a phenomenal success.
Needless to say, this is the absolute definition of NSFW. It deserves a lot higher placing in this list...
