The video was shot in
Moscow,
Russia by French director
Romain Gavras, and features Turner and Kane walking through the Russian capital. Gavras chose to shot in Russia, as the song had "a western feel to it," and "Russia is kind of like the new
Wild West." He described it as, "The most difficult shot, I've ever done." due to the long hours, the cold temperatures, and the fact they had, "to bribe a few people - including the police, who were with us all the time when we were filming."[1] Gavras would later describe the shoot as "crazy" saying: "On the other side of the camera, it was a training camp with tanks shooting all the time, totally unsafe."[2][3] The video won Best Cinematography at the 2008
UK Music Video Awards,[4] and was featured on Pitchfork's Top 40 Music Videos of 2008 list.[5]
