Salomon Ligthelm ci aveva già convinto della sua bravura con Medicine, ma con Mr Martyr fa un ulteriore passo avanti, concependo una narrazione più complessa ed evocativa.
Attenzione, non si tratta di un brano su commissione – Mr Martyr è uscita 4 anni or sono – bensì il video muove proprio dalla canzone degli Young Fathers. Il regista sudafricano ci ha visto un gangster movie ambientato nella banlieu parigina, girato in 16mm, che fa sempre bene.
