Music Video: The Church Is Secretly A Bloody Nightclub In The New David Bowie Video

David Bowie has always had a knack for the theatrics.  His elusiveness over the years and enigmatic persona he presents in the few interviews he even gives only adds to the idea that David Bowie truly exists only in his music and other creative projects and not actually as a person.  The Next Day, Bowie’s first album in over a decade, was released this past March and the album has already spawned one star driven music video featuring Tilda Swinton.  Gary Oldman and Marion Cotillard are the next two actors to be featured in the new video for the title track off the album.  Apparently, Youtube has already removed the video for one reason or another and I think it’s safe to say that the Catholic Church won’t be coming out in support of the profane video either.  The video is directed by The Runaways director Floria Sigismondi.  Blood, a little bit of nudity, and some gouged-out eyeballs are all on display.  Needless to say, it’s NSFW.  If you ever questioned Bowie’s stance on organized religion, I’m sure this video will make it loud and clear about his opinion on the matter.  Just don’t expect him to spell it out for you in an interview; that’s what his art is for.  Enjoy.
