Our take
A dazzling mix of stop motion and time-lapse editing, this surreal music video for Orbital’s hit “The Box” moves at the speed of light, transforming East London into a futuristic dystopia. Flung out of space, Tilda Swinton mesmerizes as an extraterrestrial visitor stunned by the pace of modern life.
