 "A bit boring..." 2008-06-04
By L. Moy
I'm a huge Radiohead fan and was very excited to finally buy this dvd, but I have to say I was disappointed. It hardly makes sense, the director jumps from scene to scene and when one of them is being interviewed a song is playing in the background, most of the time, so it is hard to concentrate on one thing. Sadly, it's pretty boring right from the start.

I too am fascinated and enthralled by much of Radiohead's work. But this film is really just a project of the director attempting to create an artistic statement. Many other reviewers attempt to find (and apparently do find) a profound subtext to it but on the surface it's a poorly shot, poorly edited, pointless collection of film clips. As some kind of informative work about Radiohead circa OK Computer...I really can't see its value as 90% of the interviews are by Yorke -- what of the other members? Maybe I've seen too many other documentaries about the desolation, loneliness and banality of the touring rock band to find this particular outing very compelling.

A particular F grade goes to the audio, which is to be expected as the cinematographer obviously had to get whatever audio he could in most difficult situations. It's really almost unlistenable; and I'm amazed that there were reviewers who praised its sound quality.

Finally, the production of the DVD was as minimal as possible: there are no chapter marks, no extras, and no other written information inside the cardboard keep case.

If you are a big Radiohead fan, and can get a copy for $5 it would probably be worth it.

 "Little insight into Radiohead" 2008-01-11

I think this DVD was boring and pointless. It is made up of many pointless clips. The only one I found interesting was when Thom Yorke and crew were trying to get into a restaurant and they were considered outcasts not celebrities.

Their were many short clips of live Radiohead music which I found to be frustrating because they ended right when they were getting good.

I definitely don't recommend this DVD and I am a big RH fan.

 "Radiohead doesn't suck.. but they sure do on this DVD" 2007-12-07
By S. C. Rauch (Newport News, VA)
I love Radiohead. I love documentaries and live shows about artists.



This sucked, sucked, sucked. I'm not sure how on earth you can make a Radiohead concert dull, but this has certainly succeeded.



Not recommended... if you want a copy, please let me know, and I'll gladly send you my copy for shipping & handling. Ick!!!!! They deserve better.

 "The product doesn't do the subject justice" 2006-04-21
By Daniel Robbins
This is one of those tricky cases where the actual product - in this case the DVD - hurts the reception of the content. Before I explicate, let me admit I am a Radiohead junkie; I could probably watch a film of Radiohead putting butter on their muffins and be fascinated, just like Derrida fans. So I may not be the most objective, as far as this film goes. I really enjoyed the film; I think it is a great look at perhaps THE most important and influential band of the last decade - a period of time not exactly brimming over with music of any importance. However, as a lover of DVDs, I have to say that I am imminently disappointed with the DVD itself. There are no extras; there are not even chapters - I think it may be split into 2 chapters. So, if you want to find a scene, you have to fast-forward/seek until you find it. The producers of the DVD here took advantage of NONE of the things that make the DVD technology so great, with the exception of Dolby Digital sound (but come on, VHS does that). Just because I'm such a fanboy of this band, I want to make it clear - this is not a criticism of their albums, and this isn't even a criticism of the film itself. This is a criticism of the PRODUCT. Radiohead, at least to me, have near-inherent associations with the hyper-media modern age and technology, and the human voice amidst that world. It seems odd that the producers of the DVD would not take advantage of that. The bottom line is that this a good film documenting one of the greatest bands around, but put together in a very poor package in the form of this DVD.
