Touched by the Hand of God 37 years old

The concept of this promo directed by Kathryn Bigelow was proposed by New Order's manager Rob Gretton, who was inspired by the clichés of the videos of then-popular American glam metal groups on MTV. Bigelow intercut the band footage with a narrative between Bill Paxton and Femi Gardiner.
