Title: Appalling, pseudo-arty rubbish!
Product review: 'Meeting People is Easy' is perhaps the most shallow, prententious, pseudo-arty films ever made. Whereas the album 'OK Computer' brilliantly dealt with themes that could easily be related to (such as fear of technology, political frustration, etc), this documentary consistently misfires. The live footage only seems to consist of Thom whining at the top of his voice and the interviews are treated so seriously by the band, the whole endeavour reaches states of self-parody. The attempt to show the difficulty in touring for rock bands fails completely, and the band members, especially the pathetic Yorke, come across as hopeless and ungrateful for the position they are in. Seeing this film has caused me to dread their next release, as it will only mean seeing them become more and more conceited.
