I remember seeing this video when you mentioned it before and thinking it was quite lovely (and I do love the Pet Shop Boys!) Thinking about what you wrote just now (…well, a day or two ago now), I'm struck by what's probably always been perfectly obvious to everyone else, but which I'm just "getting" now--that the sins are supposed to be perversions of things that are natural/good. At least, that's what seems to be the case with something like gluttony, and seems to be what's shown in the images in the video. Well, the video's problematizing the whole notion of sin, at least as set up by society, I suppose, so…
Anyway, thanks for getting me to look at it again!
