Staring Cindy Crawford as John Taylor, Helena Christensen as Roger Taylor, Eva Herzigova as Nick Rhodes, and Naomi Campbell as the band's front man Simon Le Bon [which means Yasmin Le Bon (Simon's wife) is left as an unnamed session guitarist*]. Saturated with references to the band's influential music video history, this debaucherous, nostalgic and multi-layered clip is an over-the-top, (note swarovski sponsorship) indulgent, and fun 10 minute epic.
Downsides: Naomi Campbell's unfortunately hideous attempt at a masculine haircut for the final scene.
