“…Jonathan Glazer is a skilled, visionary filmmaker who just so happens to helm music videos once in a while. In the mind of those who discuss him, there is no difference between the two. To them, he is the same as such diverse directors as David Lynch, David Fincher, and Martin Scorsese. In Glazer’s case, however, the difference between his big and small screen efforts is almost invisible. Indeed, throughout most of the material here, you will see his interests and his propensities spelled out in sensational optical excellence, no matter the format” — Bill Gibron, DVD VERDICT
JONATHAN GLAZER is a music video and commercial icon whose extraordinary work reveals his gift for intense visual ambition. After winning multiple awards for his music videos and commercials, he moved onto feature films and in 2001 released his debut film, SEXY BEAST, starring SIR BEN KINGSLEY and RAY WINSTONE, followed in 2004 by the sublime yet sensational BIRTH starring NICOLE KIDMAN and LAUREN BACALL. His commercials for the likes of STELLA ARTOIS, GUINNESS, LEVIS, BARCLAYS BANK and VOLKSWAGEN have turned adverts into high art perhaps best reflected in his GUINNESS ad SURFER – included on this DVD in a new extended version – being recently voted best ad of all time by the British Public. His music videos which include UNKLE, RADIOHEAD, JAMIROQUAI, BLUR and MASSIVE ATTACK have further showcased his ability to contort reality into baffling and ingenious new perspectives. Glazer’s DVD showcases his advertising, film and music video work to maximum effect.
