Vertikal
Dance
With slick moves and retro styling, “Gotye – Somebody That I Used to Know” is a fresh take on the throwback hit song. A cavalcade of dancers pop and slide in and out of frame, amassing into phalanxes of Fosse-tinged gestural precision. Their intricate rhythms and arresting stillnesses are at once mechanical and evocative, delivered with deadpan accuracy through thrilling group dances and quick cuts tightly contained antics.
