Nutini’s voice howls above eight minutes of unnerving, haunting images in an eight-minute cinematic epic set in a realistic dystopian future full of brutalist concrete buildings, where a population oppressed by an authoritarian power seek solace in drug filled escape, and resistance brings brain-splitting agony controlled by a pulsing sound wave.
