If you were to imagine Trent Reznor just by listening to “Closer,” your depiction of him may seem like a flurry of messed up images, much like the video portrays. “Closer” is disturbing image after image, from a rotating pig’s head to a monkey on a crucifix, to probably the creepiest, a missing scene that leaves it to the audience to imagine what couldn’t be found. “Closer” gives life to Reznor’s twisted, dark fantasy.
