Meeting People Is Easy performer Radiohead
Production
According to the director, Grant Gee, Radiohead sat in hotel suites for days giving interviews. To record each interview, Gee "[ran] around, leaving a microphone in one room, going and filming something in another". He placed surveillance cameras in the band's dressing room, which Gee said foreshadowed the rise of reality television such as Big Brother: "We were doing it in a slightly more arty way, but it's the same ... Radiohead Big Brother is what I think of that film in a way."Radiohead's co-manager, Chris Hufford, said the film was "psychologically honest" and that he found it depressing to watch: "Seeing that going on where there should have been pride and joy. I knew they were readdressing how they looked to themselves, each other and the outside world." The drummer, Philip Selway, said the film was the result of how Grant perceived the period, and that other times on the tour were "much lighter".In 2020, the Radiohead singer, Thom Yorke, wrote: "I've never really watched this since it was completed. I couldn't because it would send me back down a mental hole that would take me days to recover from. But now skimming through it looks kind of funny, sad and alarming at the same time. I still recognise us all. But would have had some strong words for myself at this point."
