I’ve seen this same short piece of a movie several times at a club, and have no idea what it is, but it looks cool. It shows a line of women, dressed in something like a full nun’s habit, head thingy and all, except they’re made out of leather or ubber or something, all black. The women’s faces are painted red, maybe with black lipstick. They’re all holding torches, and in the little piece I saw they’re spinning around in unison, like it’s a dance revue or something. That’s all I saw.

Anyone know what this is?

Sounds like the video to _Rio,_ by Duran Duran.

Runs, very _very_ quickly. Runs without ever looking back.

:: eighties flashback ::

I remember hanging around the record store at the mall listening to Duran Squared, but I don’t remember that video. Perhaps because I didn’t have cable (and therefore the music video channel MuchMusic) at the time…

Definitely not Rio. It could be a music video, I guess, but it’s much more modern than that, and much darker in tone.

I think **Feydeau** was referring jokingly to [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=296939&highlight=duran) thread.
