More Info
It seems appropriate that a documentary following Radiohead during the aftermath of 1997's
OK Computer--an album as conceptual as modern rock can get--should also be high-concept.
With that in mind, director Grant Gee has created something truly special with Meeting People
Is Easy, a movie revealing that, critically acclaimed or not, the life and times of a rock
supergroup can be pretty boring. Rather than focus on Radiohead's songs and concert footage,
Gee takes us behind the scenes with his handheld super-8 camera to show us grainy images of the
multiple interviews, backstage boredom, and all-around monotony that followed the British group
in the wake of their critically acclaimed third album. With a postmodern edge that perfectly
suits the band--text from interviews scrolls across the screen, half the camera angles have the
appearance of being hidden--and carte blanche to follow the group everywhere they go, Gee's movie
makes for fascinating (and anything but boring) viewing. You see, Radiohead's rock & roll
lifestyle is one for the 21st century: no TVs thrown out of windows, no M&M candies separated by
colors, just plenty of scheduled press interviews, constant touring, and the occasional
rehearsal. During the shoot of their "No Surprises" video, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke puts
himself through pure agony as he tries to keep his head under water long enough for an extended
camera take. ("No Surprises," it should be noted, was also directed by Gee). It's symbolic of
the entire film: the band is jumping through hoops while trying (desperately) to maintain their
composure. During one of the many press-conference sound bites heard in the movie, Yorke
hypothesizes, "OK Computer is about everything being out of control." By the probing looks of
Meeting People, that's a fair assumption.
