How much weirder can this freak get?

I tell you, this girl is strange. And she just gets stranger and stranger. No telling what she's going to do next. That "where is the line" video really freaked me out, the song did too. A pleasant but odd assault on the senses. October 3, 2007

Worth it for the Spike Jonze mini-documentary.

Don't be fooled: This DVD only includes five music videos, so it doesn't cover the entire Medulla album's contents.

Because the Medulla videos are all so different in nature, you may be disappointed if you're expecting them to all look the same, and/or to reflect the lyrical content of the album.

I was very pleased, however, that the oddest video on the DVD (for "Triumph of the Heart") was explained in its own li'l documentary. This one piece offered a lot of interesting information about the process involved in creating the video, and, thankfully, it also explained what in tarnation the video meant. That's always nice.

Not a lot of bang for your buck

I liked the videos on this DVD, but there weren't very many of them. This is the third Bjork DVD I've bought (I also have the greatest hits videos and the inner part of a plant or animal structure one) and it had the least amount of interesting material on it.

The videos are great, I especially liked the documentary behind "Triumph of a Heart"

The video for "Where is the Line" was interesting, but I didn't really understand it very well. I know she's fond of making nonsense or humorous things but I liked the song so much on the CD that seeing the video was a let-down. If there were any explaination at all as to why she did it that way, it would be very helpful. June 8, 2006

Triumph of a Collection

This is the perfect capping for Bjork's Medulla era. Every video here is more inventive and original than any she's ever done in the past. Ranging from the utterly gorgeous Oceania, to the pop-like bell-induced version of Who Is It, to the mellow artful Desired Constellation, to the fun hip-hop dance number Triumph of a Heart, to the eery Where Is The Line. These videos can be appreciated by Bjork and art fans alike, but not by the mainstream public. And maybe that's a good thing.

Finally the videos

Oceania- her first single the video is stunning with beautifal computerized effects.
Who is it- Very good setting for this song I like how she is in the middle of nowhere it makes for a great setting.
Triumph of a HEart- Very good idea to take it back to basics. THe audition mix is the best version, I like how the people are beatboxing.
Desired Constellation- THe vidoe may be simple but the song is very good.
Where is the line- the most graphic video from Bjork if you thought pagan poetry was graphic wait til you see this one!! I call it the invasion of the GRASS people!!!
