Writes Dangerous Minds‘ Marc Campbell: “It isn’t until halfway through this experimental film clip [Mr Dead and Mrs Free] that we encounter the formidable Nico face to face. It’s 1982 and she’s well into the heroin addiction that made her performances unpredictable and often sad affairs. In this case though, the chanteuse, the song, and the smack seem to meld into something quite perfect in its world-weary and haunting way.” So true. And never before or since has anyone worn those “vagabond shoes” quite so vagabondly. This is indeed a poignant, joyful must-watch video. Somebody please, a hanky.
