Trent's closure
NIN's retrospective of the Self-Destruct tour turned out to be messy, somewhat defective and full of uncontrolled aggression. All of that was made on purpose.
As we know Trent rejected the polished footage in favor of more intimate and riotous, almost POV styled shot. Now it's impossible to imagine this live and video collection document to be something else.
When the live portion reaches the bottom, you may pause the whole thing to think about what you've just watched or continue to the following chapter.
The second part is not just a collection of music videos, it's rather an account of events interlaced with amazingly obscure inserts masterminded by Peter Christopherson.
Journey down the spiral is fascinating and sometimes scary. You never know what to expect on the next turn and that's the beauty of it. Closure is great companion to the Downward Spiral and the perfect finale of that era at the same time.
