Karma Police
Directed by Jonathan Glazer
Filmed somewhere in rural England
The director says that this
one was inspired by a bad dream. It's all about retribution.
The viewer's view is from the drivers seat and Thom is seen
as a 'story teller' as opposed to the subject of the video.
The bloke pictured is followed by a car before falling to his
knees with exhuastion, and setting a trail of fuel alight which
leads to the car and it's burning. Thom is a rear passenger
throughout until the final shot where he disappears.
Review by Karen Hands:
The phrase 'nightmare car journey' just about sums up this video.
Thom is sitting in the back of the car that is driving along
a road in Norfolk at night. We only see him at the "This is
what you get" sections. There is a man running down the road
and the car is following him. Eventually the man runs out of
puff, stops and lights a match. He drops it and it sets light
to a stream of petrol. The fire reaches the car and engulfs
it in flames. The driver, who we never see, panics. The camera
pans round to where Thom should be sitting. But he has mysteriously
escaped into the night. This was also directed by Jonathan Glazer.
