Gastmans’ Eyes So Dry by Jesús Hernández
David Knight - 15th Apr 2011
A comic-surreal vision of corporate hell, featuring a terrifying boss, his impish PA, four fixed-grinning employees - and Gastmans, the supercool Spain-based Belgian singer who's not playing the game.
With a delirious narrative - including a memorable fly zip-opening climax - and great casting, it's another wonderful video by Jesús Hernández of NYSU Films, following his clips for Mondrian, Glez and the recent Void Camp. It was shot in Malaga - Gastmans' hometown - with a skill and élan completely at odds with the budget (ludicrously small).
