Simple means good in this case

"Radiohead: Present Tense, Jonny, Thom & a CR78" is a 5.5-minute music video from 2016 and evidence of how acclaimed movie director Paul Thomas Anderson has been extremely prolific in directing music videos (like early in his career) once again. The title already gives away that this short clip is a music video for a song by the extremely successful band Radiohead. There is not much to this one. They all sit on chairs and perform in a nice dark red light. I enjoyed it. The song is catchy and I really liked the guitar introduction early on. And sometimes simplicity is the key as I have seen other collaborations between PTA and Radiohead that were a lot showier, but also a lot more forgettable. Sure this one here is not a work of genius or brilliance either, but it is very much worth watching (also for non-fans and those who want to become fans still) at this duration. I give it a thumbs-up.

In you, I'm lost

This film captures the soul in the song. In an era where music videos try to be flashy, Paul comes down from heaven and gifts us this, just two absolute lads, chilling by a bonfire, guitar in hand, singing. The most peaceful five minutes of my life.
