Radiohead: Street Spirit (Fade Out) (1996)

"Street Spirit" is a song that finds its singer in an existential crisis. It speaks of "rows of houses"; the video gives us a trailer park of caravans. All those that live here may well end ...

Violently British

Executed brilliantly The mixing of speed effects create simple but meaningful distortion. There is something disturbing and fascinating about it at the same time. This video is from 1996 but it doesn't look "old" to me as many other videos from that period do, and I think that's because the use of the effects does not come from only a technical and stylistic choice, but it is a pure artistic expression itself.

Thom Yorke says "Street Spirit is our purest song, but I didn't write it. It wrote itself." This is an amazing challenge for a director but Jonathan Glazer did it spectacularly well. From the beautifully saturated black and white to the dreamy and surrealist mood or the simplicity of the elements he decided to portray - every choice he made was the right one.
