Left-to-right movement (from the audience's viewpoint)  is pretty much

the norm in music videos;  perhaps it's a holdover from lexicographic
media.  

Examples:
 - "The Sensual World" is a perfect example of this.
 - The last scene of "Running Up That Hill" 
 - The automobile in "Cloudbusting"
 - Most of the 'chasing' in _The Line, The Cross, and The Curve_
 - Kate turning to face the cello in "Babooshka".  
 
Given the importance of the dinner table-car-hospital scene in 
the video, I can see how the scene needed to flow as readily
as possible.
