Röyksopp "The Alcoholic" video competition winner

From the Röyksopp Genero.tv video competition

lluismiras just pips it as a winner though, capturing brilliantly the Royksopp sense of the bizarre within the mundane. This well shot piece has good narrative and story telling is simple but effective, the use of detail close up shots create a real anticipation and add to the feeling of sinister overtones. The light and the colours really help this clip standout but it is the slight twist as the women begin to dance that is the real pay off in this video that just makes it Royksopp. This is also our choice as the overall winner, so lluismiras will receive the $3,000 prize.

If you didnt really catch what this video was about: it is based on one of Argentina's famous killers, María de las Mercedes Bernardina Bolla Aponte de Murano, AKA Yiya Murano. She killed 3 of her friends, two of which she owed money to, with a little bottle of poison. She also used sweet powdered cookies to disguise the poison. Her warm, humble grandma-like attitude has confused everyone to this day. She still denies the murders. PLZ thumb up so people know :)

and the video also highlights a delightful tea set, one that would be spiffing for a spot of earl grey.

Except for the poison...

Great video, but the puppets tale finalist video should have won IMO.

So the scary people are really your friends and are trying to help

Yiya is a symbol of alcoholism and alcohol. You love her, she seems humble, nice and warm - everyone's friend. But eventually she will kill you.

Just like too much drinking.

Alcohol _is_ poison :) But, oh, don't we just love to drink?
