"Birth" was instantly one of my favorite movies when I saw it in 2004, with it's "Shining"-influenced opening sequence and the amazing close-up of Kidman in the theater audience as her inner turmoil erupts minimally on her face and maximally in the music performed by the off-screen orchestra. A magically cinematic film, and, I thought, massively influenced by Kubrick. Your video has made it clear that the Kubrick homages and references run throughout Glazer's work, which can only be a good thing! The length of time between each film, though.... Thanks for the informative vid!
I certainly hope he decides to make more films. Under the Skin blew me away like only a handful of films ever have. To me, it was as thought provoking and intriguing as any Stanley Kubrick film, sharing Kubrick's proclivity for beauty and ambiguity. A brilliant film.
Glazer is THE MAN. No living filmmaker who's new feature I anticipate more. And he's a monumental director of ads - GOAT for me in that regard. And he's made some of the best music videos ever too.
Totally know what you mean. I bought his Directors Label DVD when it came out because of the 'Virtual Insanity" video. The inventiveness of that video had always stuck with me. I often find myself rewatching those Guinness commercials over and over. So brilliant.
I now know that some of my favourite Massive Attack and Radiohead vids were done by the director of Under The Skin. Makes them even more interesting, and great.
I loved under the skin when I watched it, I really should watch it again some time soon and check out his first two films. Really excited to see what's Jonathan Glazer's next project.
I believe he's the best director of our time. His originality is second to none. Even more so than Wes Anderson, or Tarantino, who both "rip-off" other directors styles blatantly. The only thing he's missing is the popularity and the productivity of the two aforementioned.
I found out about him because of his Radiohead music videos, have only seen Under The Skin but I really need to watch his other movie(s). Insanely talented.
When I saw the name, I was thinking Jon Glaser from Neon Joe Werewolf Hunter, Delocated, Jon Glaser Loves Gear, and more - which are cool to me, but this was great and turned out to be a nice surprise. I love Under the Skin and Jamiroquai (especially that video), so what a cool tie-in and awesome job, as usual. Thanks.
I know the more high brow film goer will cite Under The Skin, but Sexy Beast is a fantastic movie too! So damn entertaining and full of cinematic chops. I lived in Spain and no other film captures the dead heat of the Spainish sunshine as well as Sexy Beast. Why Glazer hasn't become a go to Hollywood gun for hire baffles me!
Advertising is where true art lies. Art is not personal expression and pretty colours. That's just therapy. Art is the manipulation of a what a person knows, thinks or believes through a sensory experience. This was the function of the earliest understood art and is why religion and politics dominated its early development.
Under the Skin did nothing for me, but keeps getting brought up by all the people I normally align with. Maybe I need to give it a re-watch, but I was just bored the first time.
The whole story is told visually which is different from most movies relying on dialogue to explain what's going on. I personally like that but I can understand why other people wouldn't.
It's not that, those are the movies I seek out and typically enjoy, (the last movie I rented was A Ghost Story). I haven't seen Under the Skin since it came out, so I may be remembering things incorrectly. That said, I remember being completely into it for the first abduction sequence, then losing most of my interest during the second. It seemed entirely redundant, but I had hope something else would grab me. Then I recall they did it a third time, and I checked out and don't recall anything else until the admittedly stunning visuals in the forest at the end. Like I said though, everyone who likes the movies I like, loves Under the Skin, so I should give it another watch.

'Sexy Beast' is a super underrated film
Don Logan is one of the best movie villains of all time.
Griffin Hicks I have a 1 sheet of it from my days at Landmark Theatre. It is crazy to think the same guy played Gandhi.
@racewiththefalcons1
Frank booth from blue velvet is more scarier
So is Birth
@@racewiththefalcons1 Fack off, yer doin' it!

He’s coming out with a new film, “The Zone of Interest”
Glazer is THE MAN. No living filmmaker who's new feature I anticipate more. And he's a monumental director of ads - GOAT for me in that regard. And he's made some of the best music videos ever too.

I don't know if anyone was expecting The Zone of Interest to be where he would go after all this, but we're all glad he did
I now know that some of my favourite Massive Attack and Radiohead vids were done by the director of Under The Skin. Makes them even more interesting, and great.
Birth(2004) is to me, a masterpiece of cinema. Well deserving of a rewatch if you've seen it already and a quicky wiki search if you haven't
Cinematyler,
You need to upload more often.
Thank you.
Sexy beast was fun but nothing more. On the other hand Under the Skin is one of the best horror movies out there.
how fucking dare you. big man jon is a creative genuis. and ive been on his boat
I loved under the skin when I watched it, I really should watch it again some time soon and check out his first two films. Really excited to see what's Jonathan Glazer's next project.
I see a little of Tarkosky style and i am very happy!!!

David Lynch, Gaspar Noé, Lars Von Trier, Terrence Malick, Darren Aronofsky
Paul Escudier I like most of them too! Good names
James Walcott and Andrey Zvyagintsev
Yet glazer rips off Stanley Kubrick
To his credit, Glazer assigns the idea of how they executed Virtual Insanity's effect to a crew member that suggested they move the set on wheels.
Birth is one of the most underrated films ever.
Nice ---gotta check out Sexy Beast now ;)
I found out about him because of his Radiohead music videos, have only seen Under The Skin but I really need to watch his other movie(s). Insanely talented.

a joker in front of an empty, exploding building. Could this have been a reference for the hospital scene in Dark Knight?
Jonathan Glazer is Stanley Kubrick’s worthy successor
What are those statues of at 3:00? They're really interesting.
Every now and then I check his imdb page hoping for a new movie.
Soundtrack and cinematography was incredible. Got lyncg vibes from it
Very cool video
I’m really sad I never knew this guys name before jesus
Well, i mean, you are told about Jesus at a really early age
Adrián Coria - ahhhh, nice, took me a minute, but I got it
ive been on his boat.

thank you very much send me more ok by.
Every year he is not making a movie is a loss to cinema.
When Jonathan Glazer came up with rotating/moving floors before Hamilton 😂😂😂😂
Glazer, Villenueve, Nolan are the best directors today. Honorable mention Winding-Refn, Soderbergh & Innaritu
Awesome!!!
Yes!!! My favourite!!!!! Hes the man!
and all so you are the best for me by.
*You know*
What a film...!!!
Imagine how many talented directors and cinematographers are being wasted on advertising work.
I loved Under the Skin

definitely give it another try imo. Took me 3 watches before I could confirm I loved it
