Anton Corbijn is a god as far as I am concerned. He had directed some of the most beautiful videos (U2 - Electrical Storm) as well as some extremely weird ones (Mercury Rev - Opius 40) and some amusing ones (Echo and The Bunnymen - Seven Seas). He deserve more recognition as a person…The DVD had a very good documentary about him, and some of the videos he has directed. It also has commentary and interviews from the bands about their videos and about Anton. It features a thick booklet all by Anton in his handwriting with his own ideas and drawings about the videos as well as some information about where he was born, where he grew up and what camera he uses. All in all, go out, spend £15 or however much it costs and give yourself a treat. - divilismyname, IMDB
ANTON CORBIJN is a name synonymous with many of the most iconic images of the last 25 years, from his massively acclaimed photography, the worldwide exhibitions of his work, his classic and highly sought after books, eye-catching album cover designs and videos for the likes of NIRVANA, METALLICA and most recently THE KILLERS. His long-term relationships with DEPECHE MODE & U2 are well documented, and his recent book of portraiture U2 & I is now on its third print run. He is currently working on directing his first feature film CONTROL about the life & death of IAN CURTIS of JOY DIVISION based on the book TOUCHING FROM A DISTANCE by DEBORAH CURTIS. ANTON’S DVD brings together an amazing array of documentaries, commentaries and extra footage that give an insight into the man behind the work.
