Keane’s Perfect Symmetry by Grant Gee

David Knight - 5th Dec 2008

Keane's new video is a polished, high tech affair by Grant Gee, in one of his infrequent, always notable forays into music videos.

Keane's new video is a polished, high tech affair by Grant Gee, in one of his infrequent, always notable forays into music videos. Of course it's largely a sideline from Grant's main task of being the king of music docs. He's made two classics of the genre: <em>Meeting People Is Easy</em> (about Radiohead circa OK Computer), and <em>Joy Division</em>. The latter recently picked up the UK Film Council's best cinema documentary prize at the 2008 Grierson British Documentary Awards. Of course Grant's made at least one classic video too: Radiohead's No Surprises - the making of which is chronicled in <em>Meeting People Is Easy</em>. And that's brilliantly homaged - video and making of - by Stuart Lanceley's entry in Adam &amp; Joe's Video Wars (and featured by Adam at BUG 10): <a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watchv=sDz4rBV-ACo">The Meatballs Song</a>.
