Synopsis

Sun Glitters' "Things Are..." is paired with a hypnotic montage drawn from the 1971 cult film "She Killed in Ecstasy." Soledad Miranda appears as a grieving widow whose mourning turns into a sensual, revenge-driven descent. Close-ups, dreamlike embraces, coastal landscapes, clinical imagery, and moments of violence are cut into a hazy visual flow that mirrors the track's fragile electronic atmosphere. Rather than presenting a conventional performance narrative, the video lets the vintage footage function as an abstract, emotionally charged counterpoint to the song.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The song was released on May 10, 2011, and later appeared on "The Singles (2011-2017)." Its lyrics are credited as an adaptation of "Here Lies a Broken Heart," originally by Deborah Lehnen.
  • The visual source is Jess Franco's 1971 West German-Spanish erotic thriller "She Killed in Ecstasy," starring Soledad Miranda and Fred Williams. The film follows a widow who takes revenge on the medical committee she blames for her husband's suicide.
  • The YouTube presentation was published on May 25, 2011. Its description identifies the footage as coming from "She Killed in Ecstasy" and credits David Dean Burkhart with the editing.
  • A contemporary 2011 music blog feature also connected the video with Brendan Canty of Feel Good Lost and cinematographer Mike Ambs, reflecting the collaborative, found-footage-oriented video culture surrounding Sun Glitters at the time.
  • The pairing is especially effective because Franco's saturated colors, sensual close-ups, and abrupt shifts between romance and violence echo the track's mixture of softness, melancholy, and unease.
