Who Needs A Comparison

David R. Burton | Boston, MA USA | 11/07/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I went ahead and reviewed each disc individually -- just because the work of these directors is too diverse to be described in one 300 word review....



Here's what I think about this series vs. the first one. I liked the first series very much, and thought the whole idea was great (not knowing that they were going to continue the series). However, the second boxset is bigger, bolder, and regardless of others say, has comparable if not better material than the first. Jonze, Gondry, and Cunningham are great directors, but in no way do they sit on a pedestal above guys like Anton Corbijn or Mark Romanek, no way. I was less familiar with Stephane Sednaoui than the other directors, but even his work is spectacular in its own way (it's much different than the other directors, very French).



There's one thing in particular that sets the Directors Label apart from other video compilations: diversity. Instead of just packing every director who's worked with Radiohead into a series, several talented directors from very different schools are brought together. This allows us to compare and contrast their styles, techniques, and everything else that puts a film/videography/cinematography/etc nut in heaven. The only thing that series is missing is some directors in the Hip Hop realm, and Palm announced that they'd be adding a new installment for these directors next year.



If you're not familiar with the Directors Label Series, find a friend who owns some of the discs or rent a couple of them, otherwise you'll kick yourself if you buy one first and end up craving the boxset. And honestly, the only way to truly appreciate this series is to have all the directors, their unique styles, and their material together -- it's an experience."

"This collection is by far the best collection of music video directors and their work in music, film, and tv. A collection to get that will one day be very valuable."
