Johnny Cash's Hurt

Last week, as I was checking out the new Director Series featuring the music videos of Stéphane Sednaoui, Mark Romanek, Jonathan Glazer & Anton Corbijn, I came across a brilliantly stirring video of Johnny Cash's cover of Trent Reznor's Hurt, directed by Romanek. In spite of not knowing much about Johnny Cash's music, I found this video poignant and heart-rending. So much more when watching the “making of”, I found out that the video was shot just months before Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, passed on.

Now, I understand better now the din earlier this year surrounding the film Walk The Line. Check the video on YouTube.
