"It's such a faint reflection of the real narrative with broken execution and far less ambition." It took a lot of serious salvaging of footage to get it to an acceptable place after the concept was gutted," he said in an interview with VideoStatic. "The released edit is missing half of the story and all of the editorial structure. Instead, the music video for 'Perfume' was neutered beyond recognition, something director Joseph Kahn said that "sucks".
