This short film, directed by David Fincher, for Michael Jackson’s dark single “Who Is It” is one of two video versions released in 1993 as part of a promotion for the single. This version never aired in the U.S.
The story goes that Michael wasn’t happy with the finished product, because the video made him out to be ‘normal’ with emotions and everything. So he banned the video from airing in the U.S. A Michael Jackson impersonator played most of his parts because Michael was touring during the filming (that’s the impersonator sleeping on the private jet).
The video is about a millionaire who learns his girlfriend leads a double life as a high-priced call girl. The directing is visceral and sensual. It has everything a Michael Jackson fan wants: excitement, beauty, intrigue, mystery, suspense and a little sex.
