Many of his music videos pay homage to Stanley Kubrick.
The Big Picture Director Jonathan Glazer is best known for his feature films. However, The Zone of Interest, which won the Grand Prix at Cannes and comes out this December, will only be his fourth film, and his first in 10 years. His movies have been in wildly different genres. Sexy Beast was a gangster movie, Birth was a family drama with a supernatural twist, and Under the Skin was science fiction mixed with body horror.
There's certainly a spiritual connection between the two confrontational directors, and of course, Kubrick was a trailblazer who made a lot of room for subsequent directors to experiment, even in commercial spaces. But, Jonathan Glazer is a different person, so he's inevitably going to have his own distinct style. Here, because he sets himself in direct comparison with Kubrick, those distinctions are apparent. The video for "Karmacoma" is set in a hotel with haunted vibes.
Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity" Music Video Shares Similarities With '2001: A Space Odyssey' In 1996, Glazer directed the iconic video for Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity." The instantly recognizable video was a huge breakthrough both for the band and for its director. The video combines lead singer Jay Kay's dance moves with an ingeniously designed set that has moves of its own.
For "Karma Police," Glazer places Yorke slouched in the backseat of a '70s Chrysler. The car appears to have no driver — or is it powered by Yorke's pulsating sense of ennui? It drives itself down a lonely road on a dark night, pursuing a terrified man, trapped in its headlights. The lyrics of the song, in which a mystical police force deals out justice for boorish behavior, seem to imply that this man is finally getting what's coming to him.
