Meeting People is Easy MPEG: CLICK HERE| “Breathtaking
film and video photography … the first great rock documentary
of the million channel age.” The LA Times “Hallucinatory, stunning tour documentary.” Uncut “Given that the band’s songs are much concerned with alienation in a technically over-sophisticated (sic) world, fans should take this unique, texturally rich document as a fascinating visual extension …Gee packs each minute with visual, editorial and sound-montage gambits … a compelling, distinctive, document.” Variety “...a compellingly bleak travelogue.” Rolling Stone “For all its fractious asides and fragmented textures, Meeting People Is Easy is an immensely beautiful artefact.” Uncut Radiohead Special “…an hour and a half of virtuoso film-making … credit will be lavished on Grant Gee but don’t forget Jerry Chater whose editing gives the film its fractured, nervous syncopation. This is in a different league to most rock longform video. Chilling and gorgeous to look at and listen to, this sets the standard.” Q Magazine “...director Grant Gee – mercifully avoiding the usual concert doc clichés – effectively captures the whole experience in moments of strange and terrible beauty.” Time Out |
