Synopsis
Terror Bird's "I Am All Of Terror" uses carefully selected footage from the 2002 Japanese film "A Snake of June." The video moves through rain-soaked city streets, claustrophobic interiors, voyeuristic photographs, and charged encounters between a woman, her husband, and an intrusive observer. Its blue monochrome imagery, extreme close-ups, and uneasy erotic tension create a fragmented visual counterpart to the song rather than a conventional narrative music video. The result feels like a compact, atmospheric film collage built around repression, exposure, and desire.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video is presented as a non-profit work and uses footage from "A Snake of June" ("Rokugatsu no hebi"), Shinya Tsukamoto's 2002 Japanese erotic thriller.
- The source film was shot in black and white and tinted blue, giving the video its distinctive cold, monochromatic appearance. Rain, wet surfaces, and cramped spaces are among its most recognizable visual features.
- "A Snake of June" centers on a sexually repressed woman whose stagnant marriage is disrupted by a voyeur who blackmails her with secretly taken photographs. The music video extracts the film's most visually intense motifs without attempting to reproduce its full plot.
- The film won the Special Jury Prize at the 2002 Venice International Film Festival and Best Art Direction at the Sitges Fantastic Film Festival.
- The track is a collaboration between Terror Bird and Cyan Kid. It later appeared on their joint album "Cut-Outs," released on January 24, 2013, where it is listed as track 11 with a running time of approximately 2 minutes and 51 seconds.
- The Vimeo upload identifies the uploader as Ben and explicitly credits the source footage, making the clip an example of an unofficial film-based music video rather than a newly filmed production.
