Incendiary

PJ Harvey's videos for her latest album master work, Let England Shake, have been stunning and weird. This one, for the simply titled "England", portrays and explores the old, fraying edges of Our Magnificent Country: an England that is slowly rotting and stagnating, proudly, eccentrically, stewing in its remote and increasingly obsolete juices. Some of it is made up of a slideshow of still photographs, but some of it is made up of long, slow video, where the film's subjects move so gradually or slightly that you can't tell whether it is a photo or not. Mist obscures everything.

There are some cute dogs in it, too, if that didn't persuade you to watch.
