U2’s Magnificent by Alex Courtes
David Knight - 26th May 2009
A spectacular, beautifully-engineered unveiling of the timeless Moroccan city of Fez (it's the largest medieval city in the world, apparently) in Alex Courtes latest video for Bono and co.
Veteran UK art direction/sfx team Einstein's Octopus and Paris post house Mikros Image supervised the unveiling in U2's second Moorish-themed video, following Stephane Sednaoui's belly-dancing, wobbly-vision vid for Mysterious Ways all those years ago. The result is uplifting.
