VOTD: Feist in Kevin Drew’s The Water
Apr 14, 2009 - By Seraphina L.
Feist stars in an eerie yet captivating short film (originally conceived as a music video) written and directed by Broken Social Scene’s leading man, Kevin Drew. The 15-minute video also stars actors, Cillian Murphy and David Fox, and it is the furthest thing from her peppy music video for “1234.” The film shares the title with one of Feist’s tracks off of her latest album, The Reminder, and with “The Water” as the only song providing a soundtrack for this haunting but mesmerizing piece of art (about halfway through the film), there is no need for dialogue. Although there are a couple of lines spoken by two of the characters, the story beautifully unfolds on its own through the similarity and intensity between Feist and Murphy’s eyes.
