starring Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gweneth Paltrow and Kevin Spacey. The movie is about a serial killer obsessed with the 7 deadly sins.
“Closer” is arguably Nine Inch Nails best known song. It reached #11 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart and #41 on the Billboard Hot 100. The video got significant airplay on MTV and was voted #1 in VH1's “20 Greatest Music Videos of All Time.” The video was shot on a hand-crank camera from 1919 to help give the video the aesthetic it needed to portray a mid 19th century mad scientist's laboratory.
Songwriter and lead singer, Trent Reznor actually said that this was a rare instance where he thought his own song sounded better with the music video.
