Meeting People Is Easy

1998 · 95 min Music Documentary
7.4 / 10 · TMDB

Radiohead is caught in the whirlwind of a global tour promoting OK Computer. The camera trails the band through an endless parade of interviews, soundchecks, flights, and hotel rooms, capturing not triumph but a creeping exhaustion. A collage of dialogue snippets, TV static, and concert fragments paints a portrait of a creative unit slowly burning out under the machinery of the music industry. The film documents not a success story, but the process of transforming living art into a grueling promotional cycle, beginning with that inaugural show in Barcelona in May 1997.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This is not a conventional concert film, but a hypnotic study of alienation. Grant Gee uses blurred footage, layered audio, and detached editing to make us feel the sensory overload and emotional void behind the curtain of fame.

What lingers after the final frame is not a melody, but the phantom noise of fatigue and a quiet question about the price of genius. It holds up a mirror to any labor that has become mere routine. — MovieFinder Editorial

Sensory overload in a hotel elevator, the glow of TV screens in a vacant dressing room.
