  INTERVIEW: Shooting the "Beast"; Jonathan Glazer Tames the Gangster Genre
Jonathan Glazer: I wanted to get into films for a three or four years, but I wanted to get to a point of control where I was in a position where I could get the most out of the material I was making, rather than do a studio project just for the sake of it.
Glazer: I wasn't aware that I was breaking the mold, but I knew that I was doing work that would allow me to do something different and working with artists who would allow me to what I wanted to do.
Glazer: I regard "Karma Police" as a complete failure, because I decided to do a very minimalist, subjective use of camera, and tried to do something hypnotic and dramatic from one perspective, and it was very hard to achieve and I feel that I didn't achieve it.

 Slant Magazine - DVD Review: The Work of Jonathan Glazer
The human body, to Glazer, is more like a machine or car, and his characters are uncannily plugged in to their sensory experience of their surroundings, refusing to obey the physics of time and space and the limitations of nature.
Jonathan Glazer is a new kid on the block compared to Anton Corbijn and he likes to keep his images as clean and crisp as humanly possible.
Jonathan Glazer's obsession with the human body is what you get when you mess with us.

 Movie Habit: Review of The Work of Director Jonathan Glazer (2005), *** 1/2
Glazer is probably best known as the director of the dark crime comedy Sexy Beast, but the most memorable film on this DVD is a music video of UNKLE’s Rabbit in Your Headlights, with its disturbing imagery of a madman in the middle of traffic.
It’s hard to pinpoint a particular style or attitude in Glazer’s work, but his music videos, commercials and feature films are striking — some for their emotional content, some for their playfulness and others for their visuals which are sometimes incomprehensible.
Jonathan Glazer’s work runs the gamut from disturbing to fun.

Jonathan Glazer's follow-up to Sexy Beast, Birth is a gravely serious yet intensely absorbing look at a widow contemplating a relationship with a young boy, after he provides convincing proof he's her husband.
Danny Huston is superlative as the fianc unraveling under the weight of the boy's bizarre infiltration, and Anne Heche etches her own lasting impression as Kidman's former rival, gaunt and focused.
Glazer's choice is redeemed through the coda, which -- while no less cleanly resolved than any other part of this uncomfortable story -- at least indicates some hope for these lost souls.

Glazer pays bravura homage to Dreyer in a wordless three-minute-long close-up of Kidman at the opera listening to Wagner—a thrilling master class in subliminal performance.
"The whole idea of the film is absurd, it's laughable," Glazer declares merrily, "and I wanted to take her and the audience all the way with it, into believing that this boy was who he said he was.
It's really the first time in the film that we're alone with her, and all the prior events are rolled into this one shot as she mulls it over, as we do.

 'boards - Jonathan Glazer
The success of his first feature and the completion of his final high-end Guinness commercial might take on a cosmic significance for some, but director Jonathan Glazer sees them as mere landmarks on a continuing journey.
Glazer's Sexy Beast is a dark crime caper that rattled critics and fans alike with its patiently realized and bloodthirsty characters and twists (for an interview with Glazer on the film, search boardsmag.com).
The sound design in particular fuels the epic pictures, and Glazer credits Raeburn with layering a pleasantly amateurish piano ditty with a soundtrack derived from a South Florida water aerobics class for the aged overseen by an elderly female instructor.

Jonathan Glazer axe son film sur la guerre des nerfs que se livrent deux hommes au charisme impressionnant, évitant ainsi les clichés qu’aurait pu générer le thème ultra-classique du gangster qui n’arrive pas à se repentir.
All through the film, I felt that director Jonathan Glazer and screenwriters Louis Mellis and David Scinto were setting me up for something surprising, but it never came off.
Glazer does a great job allowing us to be flys on the wall, or putting us right in the middle of the action.

 SPLICEDwire | "Sexy Beast" review (2001) Jonathan Glazer, Ben Kingsley, Ray Winstone, Ian McShane
The first half of "Sexy Beast" is almost entirely dialogue and savage head games, offset by acute touches of dark humor (Don is something of a malapropist) and Glazer's sun-drenched and lively, yet distinctively film noir photography.
Glazer's photography becomes dark blue and moody in this second half of the film, reflecting Gal's agitated disposition, which likely has something to do with Don's conspicuous failure to return from Spain.
But even if you don't catch every word, Kingsley and Winstone are is such rare form that the substance of their conversations are unmistakable.

 SPLICEDwire | "Birth" movie review (2004) "Birth" review, Jonathan Glazer, Nicole Kidman, Cameron Bright, Danny Huston
Director Jonathan Glazer ("Sexy Beast") employs long close-ups as troubled thoughts and unsettling emotions creep with minute subtlety across the faces of his characters.
In one extraordinary scene, Anna sits nearly motionless in the audience at an opera, and the camera lingers on her porcelain visage for a good two minutes as her mind silently battles her heart over an exchange she's just had with Sean.
It's a heart-stopping moment, and Glazer has more of them in store, notably another lingering shot of Huston (so potently understated in 2002's little-seen "ivans xtc." and this year's "Silver City") as his levelheaded character reaches a point where he can no longer fight off his mounting insecurity.

Also consistent with the idea was Budapest, a location that Glazer says offered an ungentrified, crumbling grandeur, hundreds of gypsy extras and fearless stuntmen.
Many of the climbers were gypsies, whose strong faces Glazer admired both for their earthy realness and their uncosmetic appearances.
After wrapping Sexy Beast, Glazer worked with the agency to film Wrangler's "Whatever You Ride" epic, depicting a lone cowpoke traversing a middle America diametrically opposed to the Midwest's supposed wholesomeness.

Newsweek promptly proclaimed the titles, “some of the best cinema made in the last decade.” The New York Times hailed the artists as “directors who transcend music.” And rabid fans sent the lavishly designed DVDs into certified gold and platinum orbits.
Both Romanek and Glazer have already ventured into features (Romanek directed One Hour Photo and Glazer Sexy Beast and Birth), Corbijn is working on his first feature (based on the life and death of Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis), and we assume there will be an announcement any day now from Sednaoui.
Following the night’s screening, all four directors will be present onstage for a roundtable Q&A. And as if that wasn’t enough: The inimitable Michel Gondry will be on hand to MC the event.
