“Be My Wife” Music Video

The video for Low‘s “Be My Wife” was directed by Stanley Dorfman, and depicts Bowie standing in a white expanse with a guitar. That much is clear. His mood on the other hand, is impenetrable. He looks confused, pained, desperate, and disinterested in playing the guitar that he slings behind him mid-song a few times. He awkwardly plays it over-hand at one point.
