Video M83 - "Kim & Jessie"

Posted by Rob Simonsen on Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 2:45 PM

Love is apparently made up of sacrifices (or so I've heard). And while the new video for M83's "Kim & Jessie" seems like a simple enough love story between two roller skaters clad in pink leotards and some brooding boys (with some sweet synchronized dancing mixed in), wow, the dark undertones are inescapable.

Really, who gives up (spoiler alert!) their roller skates for a pair of roller blades?! And for a boy, no less?

Sorry, M83, I would do anything for love, but I won't do that.

I didn't really get it, but I still thought the skating was pretty badass, especially the part before the mean yellow girls show up.

Weird gratuitous shots of 14-year-olds changing, though?
