  • I can't find who sings it??? I've tried Shazam and SoundHound...anyone know who it is? I love it!!!

  • A band called Din (A) Tod

  • This is amazingly beautiful from the writing, photography, music, editing, and acting. It should be entered into a festival.

  • It was an amazing film! I loved watching it and i shared it to every media source i had!

  • What a lovely film. Bravo!!!

  • This is spectacular.

  • SÓ GENTE FEIA, IRC, QUE NOJO!

  • super video

  • хуйня

  • Impersionante, transmite en 7 minutos sin dialogos mas que una pelicula cada fotograma es una sensacion , especial mencion a la actuacion del actor mas veterano, la cabeza simpre alta demostrando toda clase de sentimientos....... De lo mejor que he visto se deveria de utilizar en centros escolares como partede una educacion tolerante

  • I think that the pool represents the fluid nature of sexuality. Notice that once they were all in the pool they mixed partners and were able to explore their sexual desires. The woman eating the fries is alone because she represents what happens when you deny yourself such liberation in being yourself. She's ostracized herself from the group because she feels safer that way but in turn she's left full of despair and misery. This video is about overcoming those social barriers and exploring.

  • Great video! :)

  • This musicvideo/videoart/short film sums everything that is good in new age media!

    Tricky and cool script, amazing production, and beautiful m picture!

    Had to share it.

    As a producer sometimes artists sometimes tell me, "why should i bother paying for a big production when it's only gonna be on YouTube", this video is exactly the reason why there should be a newage musicvideo industry!

    wow.

  • amazing video-clip! wow!

  • This was just weird and very odd but still intriguing

  • a kind of mix between COCCON & THE PERFUME . ...gracias.its perfect.

  • that was so weird...now I wanna see other works of this director

  • DIONYSIUS!

  • i absolutely LOVE the queen's smirk of satisfaction there at the end! :-D

  • WHEEEEEEE !! Everybody kiss everybody !

  • Great videos, so evocative and prismatic. Thank you. Subbed.

  • wow--an almost completely beautiful vision of what could be...though the unaffected fat woman eating, to me the most interesting subject-- compels all kinds of projection and interpretation

  • all the lovers that have gone before

    they don't compare to you...

  • whotthefuckdidIjustwatch

  • The song can be found by searching for "Westwerk" on itunes store.

  • @nguyenth85 Awesome! Thank you!

    

  • just to ......strange. But I like it. The old drag queen cast some kind of spell over them.

  • wat

  • yes topiz. yes

  • Comment removed

  • What are they on? They're all stuck on slow motion.

  • 6:48 DO NOT get up! stay there and eat your fries! you have to be this hot to enter the pool..

  • This is incredible.

  • uhhhhmmmm i was totally loving this video until the last few seconds, when the message changed from acceptance to disdain of those that don't fit perfect societal ideals of beauty, kind of hypocritical. :(

  • And then everyone got mono and died. The fat girl lived longer because she wasn't in the kiss orgy.

  • but hey, I usually hate it when people take videos too seriously, so I get it if you're all like "GTFO".

    I guess I just felt irritated enough to post shit.

    Whatever, troll and criticize away <3

  • Isn't this somewhat promoting a stereotype of gay culture where older men seduce younger men? Or that gay culture is based on sexual activity, and anonymous activity at that? I mean, I think this is great for novelty purposes, but it honestly kind of irritates me when people are saying this is some sort of step forward in gay culture. This is simply the continuation and exploitation that zeroes in on the sexual aspects of homosexuality. We're people underneath the "gay love" shell, y'know.

  • @myjeansaretooshort Im not attracted to older men, but I dont see why an older man shouldnt be with a younger guy. Same thing happens with straight couples, I see over 60 year old fat gross men marrying hot super models that are not older than 20. So no this is not inherent to the gay community. The video however doesnt portray this in any way, the intention of the video is to make you feel uncomfortable so you can start questioning whats morally right or wrong.

  • @myjeansaretooshort Oddly enough, I saw it quite the opposite....very liberating. Plus, the older and younger guy's interaction started with a MUTUAL deep gaze into each other eyes. They approached each other at the same pace with absolutely no predatory movements on either side. Maybe you're just buying into that stereotype and seeing exploitation where it doesn't exist?

  • Estranho demais, deve ser euroupeu

  • Somewhere between Mulholland Drive and the Knife's Pass This On. Fantastic.

  • Loved this - well done! Really really nicely made, and with an awesome ambiguous atmosphere and message. What camera/s did you film it with?

  • Wow, Tilda Swinton got OLLLLLDDDD. ;)

  • 整个人都凌乱了~~~~头皮在发麻!

  • Does this film have ANY correlation to the music video "Pass this on" by The Knife? Seriously, go watch it and see if you the resemblance...

  • @Bmehr0775 Right on! Thanks for reminding me of that video, hadn't seen it in a while.

  • @Luckdragon But there are similarities, right? Or am I crazy? Both videos and songs, stellar!

  • In some ways, the heavy woman represents (in my interpretation of the film) a mother earth figure. She watches the events from the sideline and does not interfere with them. She is the "unchanged figure" in the film and simply continues about her own activity. Some in the world do remain unchanged.

  • @SkyeRangerNick

    Of course, she also represents that each person lives in his or her own reality; and she has a slow intimate relationship with food. It may sound crass, but notice that the potatoes are long phallus like and dipped in cream. She witnesses the happenings in the world, but remains true to her own way.

  • wondering what's the sexual identity of the fat woman...

  • I love all gays and this song is pretty good, but what the fuck is this shit ? Why does the woman at the end get left alone ? She doesn't seem unaccepting, so why does the video crap on the one overweight person ? ? ? ?

  • Where can I get this song?!

  • Comment removed

  • It’s all, —– all in all —– that Is JUST, Is POSSIBLE !.

    Howbeit nay all along that appears in this video one squares herein !. ; )

  • Uma resposta criativa aos homofobicos. Parabéns!

  • Achei a linguagem um pouco confusa! Não acho q corresponda com o conceito.

  • Great video and great song!

  • I've totally been to this swimming pool before.

  • BEAUTIFUL!!!! such an amazing message, dont dream it be it and fuck everybody

  • Amazing Production!!! I Love It!!

  • What is the meaning of the video?

    Why they all dive in the pool except the fat woman?

  • I am straight and sooooooo grateful for the colour, diversity, beauty and love that the gay community have added to my life. Gays rock! Be here forever!

  • @mykeyrocks haha what qa funny remark! :-) LMAO

  • The somewhat overweight woman made a choice not to join in the pool, she wasn't denied by anybody. Many people with low body image ostracize themselves from society and not the other way around for fear of rejection and feelings of inadequacy. It's a safety mechanism.

  • @mykeyrocks Duhh lol... thats a given

  • I just kept saying "Wtf is this?" louder as the video went on.

  • Schwimmhalle am Brauhausberg :D wenigstens in ein Video hat sies geschafft^^ Falls es sie dahinraffen sollte, eine schöne Erinnerung :D

  • So the point is that fat people can't make out cuz they're too busy eating fries.

  • @topiz More like the people who don't accept, or aren't comfortable with themselves will never take risks, and only end up isolating themselves and missing out.

  • @topiz I think it represents the fast-food/shut-down mentality of those who can't or won't accept the many layers of sexuality represented in humanity, who don't see the beauty.

  • @topiz Yes thats accurate lmao

  • the devil advocate

  • This is incredible! So much more than what is seems! Favourite!

  • Fuckin' awesome.

  • Brilliant, very good

  • Wow the tran Joker is awesome.

  • Shame the girl with fries didn't jump in... she sure missed something!

    Now she just sat there misarble!

  • Another take on the Joker Card is this: I take the Joker to be equivalent to the "Fool 0" Card in the Tarot. The Fool is standing at the edge of the Abyss and stepping out in "all possibilities." It is a step of absolute release of known norms into a new life and a new world. The enigmatic figure dressed in violet and gold is, of course, the Magician 1. The first character the Fool meets in his journey is the Magician.

  • @SkyeRangerNick The Magician through will and desire creates. Let there be light. The white wand of the Magician is, of course, the cigarette which is ground into the earth, bringing the magic of creation into manifestation from above and down into the moment. (There is lots of other cool stuff in this video too.)

  • @SkyeRangerNick wow, i didnt even realize this, now its even more great to watch. tx a lot for sharing this info :)))

  • This is very cool! I love the meaning behind it... at first I was like, WTF... but the idea behind the video is awesome. Good music for it and great filming/editing :)

  • Tra l'altro dov'è sta piscina che ci devo fare un giretto ;)

  • AWESOME! :D very well done!

  • bellissimo ma dove l'hai scovato ;)

    

  • ta meu bem, video luxo

  • I wish life on this planet could be this way! without people judgung you for what you love!

  • I really wish life was actually like this. So beautiful.

  • GENIAL!!! UN GRAND MERCI!

  • i love this shit. with human relationships there should be no expectations, roles, there is only what evolves willingly and organically all else is painful artifice which subverts relations

  • i don't get it...however the two boys making out was hot:P

  • bring m all to our parties!

  • Comment removed

  • e um clipe ou banda isso

  • dünyanın en ilginç videosu amk

  • Piggy this is the only chance in life for you to hook up - put down that fucking french fry and french kiss everyone !!

  • Somehow creepy (The woman at the beginnig), somehow brillant... This is just gorgeous!

  • damn sexy, damn purrrfect! <3 

  • POUT DOWN THE FRENCH FRY! JUMP IN!

  • Similar to The knife - Pass This On.

    Love 'em both

  • @glhmtv  exactly!

  • I guess eating French fries with mayonnaise doesn't make you desireable nor want to desire!

    I'm Canadian and have lived in Germany. They are the only people that I know that eat mayonnaise with their French fries.

    But I guess they're not so weird as many of us Canadians eat their French fries with vinegar.

  • @dali2194 every country in western europe puts mayonnaise on french fries...

  • I love it

  • Brilliant.

  • oh...i like to see^^....excellent clip ....faved !

  • Germans are weird

  • WTF!

  • One of the best videos I ever saw.

  • Is the song available as an MP3?

  • Wow feels like forever since Madonna released a new video !!

  • @STARFOXPERIENCE: Your comment sooooo freaking owns! Good one!

  • @STARFOXPERIENCE No, it's Tilda Swinton.

  • @STARFOXPERIENCE its better than madonna

  • I dont even know what just happened

  • Wtf was in that water? :D

  • meraviglioso.....

    

  • is that old kylie minogue?

  • "Grotesco y enigmático". Fantástico.

  • cruz credo

    

  • So much of what happens seems to be initiated by anger, but changes into a sort of ecstatic control.... Love it!

  • What happened to the other guy? Four of them were pushing the fifth one to jump from the platform, but one of them disappeared..

  • @the500hats ... no... they all land into the water and make out...

  • @STARFOXPERIENCE That's what I thought. But one of the guys (with the lighter gold necklace) just isn't seen again. Is there a longer version, and that guy happened to not appear in the cut?

  • @the500hats wwwopss.. you're right.. maybe he rushed out to jerk off in the changing cubicle :-)

  • @STARFOXPERIENCE I can only hope! :D

  • i don't like the cut version. at all. how dare you.

  • wtf did you do to the original post? 

  • I wish we had a pool like that near me - and the young diver open to kissing everyone

  • 6 ppl r fat

  • great added and director-ed ... interesting concept ... POOL OF FREEDOM

  • What Did I Just Watch?!! Din[A]Tod - Cold Star is awesum

  • It is beyond creepy how much the drag queen looks like Vanessa Redgrave, even without the wig, etcetera.

  • H.O.T.!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!! :-D

  • i wanted to see the guy with the beard hook up with a dude.

    DISAPPOINTMENT REIGNS

  • @whatthehelljesus - he does man: 6:07 - 6:11

  • @helloondrej There was no kiss, just a simulated underwater blow-job.

  • @GyThanksGd sorry i thought that might have constituted hooking up, i didn't realise you meant kissing. hey i wanted to see all of those guys kissing more...a lot more.

  • El director de ‘Cold Star’ es Kai Stänicke y la canción que suena durante todo el corto es ‘Cold Star’ de Din[a] Tod. Se podría decir que este vídeo alemán se sitúa en algún lugar intermedio entre el videoclip y el cortometraje con la única intención de promover la aceptación de la sexualidad, tanto la propia del espectador como la de los demás.

  • Cold Star’ cuenta una historia en la que se tocan temas como el acoso, el género o la sexualidad de una forma algo grotesca e irreal pero en todo momento los sentimientos quedan perfectamente dibujados.

  • Weird but quite sexy actually. I can imagine all those people jizzing in the pool....

  • O_O

  • amazingggggggggggggggggggg

    full of symbolisms!

  • The hot guy with green eyes was the most coveted and kissed

  • I don't know what every thing in this video means, but I love it passionately. It's brave and a little crazy and beautiful and enormously touching.

  • wow....cool video....great song.....

  • Comment removed

  • Joker card is played right before the drag queen enters. "The King's fool and jester, with the power to mock and revile even the most prominent without penalty"

    He is mocking the worlds view of sexuality and labeling, all that should matter is love.

  • @Rarediel Not really mocking labeling... Major stereotypical fat girl, only interested in food. THAT'S labeling.

  • I totally love this video and the music! Live your life out and proud!

  • Interesting but what does the lady eating fries at the end symbolize

  • @Yewon2001 To me she means self-acceptance even if you feel judged/shamed by others.

  • @Yewon2001 , Maybe she represents the Maggie Gallaghers of the world.

  • if they continued it , it would be the greatest porn movie off all times! I am straight , but i have to admit that this film is hot!

  • 5 people are like that fat girl out of the pool

  • Beautiful!

    

  • this is really a great job: a lot of meanings, a lot of disturbing images and really well done. when you don't need word to express something but only eyes and gestures :)

    really a great job! Bravi!!!

  • loved!!!! fantastic!!

  • they spilled 2,000 viagra pills and some extasy into the pool first?

  • FanF*&kingTastic! Great film making and message - pure and simple. Thanks for the remarkable experience.

  • A M A Z I N G !

  • 2 other great points: 1) Drag Queen is the man that boy was eye locking with in beginning, 2) major Bisexual message

    1 angering point: once again the big girl gets nothing except portrayed as a fries & mayo food whore

  • @BEARfromTN Yeah, I think it was a little bit simplistic in terms of different body types, sexuality, and liberation. But I do feel there was some other message (someone else brought it up in the comments) about over consumption as a perverse consequence of self-hate or self-limitation. I think that is on some symbolic level here. I don't think it was hating on fat people, and I think we can look at overconsumption/obesity/social rules and maybe learn a lot.

  • @1978Autodidact I whole heartedly disagree. YOU are promoting 'fat hate' by assuming the negative symbolism which implies fat people are fat because they self-hate and other societal negatives. If someone was in here railing against the obviously expressed sexuality and gender identity topics then everyone would be aghast, so why does anyone still believe it is fine to perceive large people as negatives but not LGBTIQ people as negatives? I am projecting EQUALITY not selective discrimination.

  • @BEARfromTN There can be neg. connotations with what is objectively known to be unhealthy for a lot of people, i.e. obesity. I think fat people can be sexy, etc., but I don't think there's an exact connection btw fat people & the LGBT comm. there's a lot of social anxiety at fat people, who come to symbolize larger issues: overindulgence, even sociopolitical issues I said above. Obesity means lots, good and bad, but to recognize ambivalence as promoting 'fat hate' is a little reactionary.

  • @BEARfromTN Alright, let's have an adult discussion. I didn't come at you hostile. All I do is hang out with bears in SF, am very aware of fatphobia in our culture. But I don't think this is a black and white "with us or against us" set of issues. I think it's fine to be and express yourself as you are, but I also agree that obesity can come from a negative space (doesn't have to), and I have a lot of ambivalence about western overconsumption which is corelative with obesity rates.
