Jonathan Glazer Career

Career

Glazer produced and directed three short films of his own ("Mad," "Pool," and "Commission") in 1993, and joined Academy Commercials, a production company headquartered in Central London. He has produced award-winning campaigns for Guinness (Dreamer, Swimblack, and Surfer) and Stella Artois (Devil's Island). He has produced a number of popular music videos since the mid-1990s, and was named MTV Director of the Year 1997. "I knew when I ended [Radiohead] found their own voices as an artist], at that point, I felt like I got closer to whatever mine was, as well as prosaic value. That was a "critical moment" for me.

He directed his first film, Sexy Beast, starring Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley, the latter of whom received a nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 2000. He produced Birth, his second feature film starring Nicole Kidman in the United States, in 2004.

Glazer penned the "Odyss" spot for Levi Strauss Jeans in 2001. He directed the second Sony BRAVIA TV commercial in 2006, which took 10 days and 250 people to film. It was shot at a Glasgow estate and featured paint exploding all over the tower blocks. He was hired to produce a television commercial for the new Motorola Red phone later this year. The commercial, which featured two naked black bodies emerging from a lump of flesh turning on a potter's wheel, was supposed to air in September 2006 but Motorola cancelled it. Several charities in Africa were to be benefited by the ad campaign.

He directed Under the Skin, a loosening of Michel Faber's science fiction book starring Scarlett Johansson, in 2013. The film premiered at the 2013 Telluride Film Festival and was released in 2014 in a theater, gaining critical attention. Multiple writers and publications have ranked the film as the best film of the year's, including one in many best-of-the-decade lists, and it came in 61st on the BBC's Top 100 Greatest Films of the 21st Century, an international poll of 177 top commentators. An in-depth review of the film scene scene and behind-the-scenes is the subject of a 2019 non-fiction book entitled Alien in the Mirror by author Maurice Johansson.

Glazer was working on a new feature film based loosely on Martin Amis' book The Zone of Interest, which would be co-produced and distributed in the United States by A24.

'We now stand here as men who defame their Jewishness and the Holocaust's destruction by an occupation that has resulted in violence against so many innocent civilians,' he continued. 'Whether the victims of October - whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza, all the victims of this dehumanization, how do we resist?'
