There's no way that this is a coincidence. Kanye West, famed for putting a lot of time, effort and money into his music videos, has obviously seen Gaspar Noe's visual assault that is "Enter The Void" a psychadelic, colour filled, pulsing mind fuck of a film shot all in POV (including blinking eyes) in which an american ex pat living in Tokyo as a drug dealer is shot by police in a raid. His soul then exits his body and flies over the neon lights of Tokyo and the film traces the after effects of his death on his friends and family.
Anyone who's seen Irreversible will be aware that Noe's style of film making is completely different to anything you've seen before. Kanye's latest music video has taken a big pile of the key elements of "Enter The Void's" look made it a little bit shitter, thrown rihanna in with her tits out, put kanye in it doing a shit rap and boshed it into the mainstream. See below the title sequence made by German film maker Thorsten Fleisch and trailer for enter the void and Kanye West's latest video All of the Lights...
