The Work of Director Jonathan Glazer

Some directors make music videos that promote songs. Jonathan Glazer made music videos that felt like they had arrived from another planet and were only pretending to be music videos. The Work of Director Jonathan Glazer collects his remarkable run of clips for artists including Radiohead, Massive Attack, Jamiroquai, Blur, Nick Cave and UNKLE, showcasing a filmmaker whose ideas were often stranger, darker and more memorable than the films playing at the multiplex.

Watching this collection, it's easy to see how Glazer went on to direct films like Sexy Beast, Birth and Under the Skin. Every video feels meticulously crafted, whether it's Jamiroquai sliding through the impossible room of "Virtual Insanity," the unsettling suburban nightmare of Radiohead's "Karma Police," or the dreamlike, cinematic worlds he built for Massive Attack and UNKLE. Stylish without feeling trendy and inventive without showing off, this DVD is a fascinating snapshot of a director developing one of the most distinctive visual voices in modern cinema.
