"Too Many Friends" is the latest music video collaboration from Placebo, director Saman Kesh and author Brett Easton Ellis.
Mr. Ellis provides the narration for this unique tale of lust, treachery, drugs, deceit - and confusion. The video deconstructs a brief event set at a house party sometime in the near future. As the event replays, subtle nuances and mysteries are revealed, prompting different interpretations of the scene. In the end the viewer is invited to interact with the video and provide their own account of what really happened.
