Continuing their longstanding collaboration with Noel Gallagher, Dan Cadan and Jonathan 'Scully' Mowatt continue where they left off in the previous promo We're On Our Way Now , exploring the lives of lovers in a nouvelle vague-flavoured London, played by Matt Smith and Gala Gordon.Flying On The Ground builds upon the enigmatic narrative of the previous video, with plenty of improvised scenes and visual nods to French-wave films A Bout De Souffle and Bande A Part. Whether or not viewers are familiar with the French new wave is less important than the compelling performances and suggestion of a plot combine to create something absorbing to watch. And certainly Noel Gallagher's cameo role in the film becoming more significant - particularly in the fate of the Matt Smith character.
