Weirdo Wednesday: Portishead’s “All Mine” Video Is Just Plain “Odd”

Rounding out our spotlight on Portishead this week, for today’s Weirdo Wednesday, we’re looking at the peculiarly unsettling video for “All Mine” off their self-titled album released way back in 1997. As alluded to in our Manic Monday column, Portishead’s music often had a subtly eerie undercurrent running through it. Still, there’s always been something inexplicably creepy about this video, with a ghostly little girl stoically lip-syncing a song about obsession that feels more than a little sinister: 

“Make no mistake
You shan’t escape
Tethered and tied
There’s nowhere to hide from me

All mine”  

Pleasant dreams:
