Featuring: Ben Kingsley, Nicole Kidman, Ray Winstone, Nick Cave, Graham Coxon
The package: Jonathan Glazer slogged away for years on advertisements and music videos before earning his big-screen break with the British gangster film Sexy Beast (2000).
Here actors and screenwriters from that debut, and last year's Nicole Kidman vehicle Birth, pay homage to Glazer. At times, these interviews are gushy and obituary-like - a bit much for a man in his early 40s. However, many speak of his maturity. Oscar winner Ben Kingsley (Gandhi) recalls Glazer's confident yet sensitive handling of Sexy Beast, and predicts he'll become 'one of the great directors'.
Glazer's two features couldn't be more different. In contrast to the testosterone-driven violence of Sexy Beast, which features Kingsley as the sociopathic Don Logan (above right), Birth is a stylish and haunting thriller told through the eyes of a grieving widow.
But the best content here are the eight music videos from the 1990s, which exhibit a mixture of strong storyboarding and menacing delivery. The stories that accompany some songs are often surreal.
Who can fathom what's going on in Massive Attack's Karmacoma, for instance? Shot in what looks to be an old English hotel (it was actually the old Greater London Council Building), fetishists embark on their favourite pastimes, while machine gun-toting Miami Vice-like criminals roam corridors, before identical twin girls in pigtails recall scenes from The Shining. And the band raps along.
