You Know Me - Robbie Williams - Intertexuality


You know me is the second official single from British hit sensation and ex Take That member,Robbie Williams. Released on the 6th of November 2009 and was directed by Phil and Olly also known as Diamond Dogs. Robbie is dressed in a white rabbit suit like the one from Lewis Carroll's Alice in wonderland from the novel and film. this creates intertextuality between the music video and the film or novel itself. He uses his facial expression to imitate that of a rabbit to get into character more and make it more psychedelic. The rabbit is linked to Alice in wonderland of course but there has been many twists on Alice in wonderland very drug related. i thought this might relate to Robbie Williams as he was addicted to drugs. The psychedelic feel of this video has gave our music video group. Ideas such as the very big flowers and animal costumes.
