Director's Label Series Boxed Set (2005)

Another amazing collection by the Directors Label

This boxed set is 100% the best hands down. It contains the most classic and perfectly executed works from Mark Romanek, Jonathan Glazer, Anton Corbijn and Stephane Sednaoui. They each come with a flawlessly printed booklet detailing interviews and conceptual information pertaining to each video by the artists. The quality of the videos is superb and I can only hope that they will soon be available on Blu-ray format. I highly suggest this boxed set to anyone looking for inspiration or simply for a great watch. January 14, 2008

A Must Have!!!!

The title says it all. If you love artistic, high quality, brilliantly directed music videos, then you must add this to your collection. Books accompany the DVD set and they are also of high quality. Overall, I'm very impressed and would definitely recommend this box set to anyone. I purchased the other box set with Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze and love that just as much. September 22, 2007

Not nearly as good as the first set

I have not watched every single video in the package (because I got bored of them). But I feel qualified to make a short review.

The first set was so good you could actually invite friends over and enjoy some Michel Gondry and Chris Cunningham together. Not so with this set. The videos are not crowd pleasers, and the videos here are generally more pretentious, especially those from Anton Corbijn (photographer turned video director). In the interviews you will see artists freely admitting they have no idea what such and such video is about. If you don't like symbolism, you are in for a "Bumpy Ride."

It seems like I am watching some of these videos for a college class in music video history, like "this was the first video to ever use soft focus", or, "this was the first music video that uses Slow Motion." So like another guy already said, they pale compared to what is on MTV right this minute. January 5, 2006

Don't Get Robbed Like I did...

If you were a fan of the first Volume because of the creativity and how these directors were pushing the envelope, I would suggest not spending your hard earned money here on volume 2. All of these videos lack imagination, I hope that Volume 3 will have more interesting directors, frankly, I was bored, You could turn on MTV and see better videos than this garbage. I am raing this Item "1 star and that is due to the good packaging design, and not the content. January 1, 2006

so much there!

Incredible!. I found this set at the V-Mega store in SFO. It was set up on the demo wall. I stood there and watched until my legs went numb. Artistic value is very high. I have been kind of turned off by music videos the last few years but this changed my perception of what is out there now. Even the commercials were very entertaining and well thought out.
I was going to skip them, glad I did not.
