Radiohead
Radiohead's "Karma Police" is a minimalist thriller that turns the viewer into a participant. Directed by Jonathan Glazer, the video's power comes from its single, relentless perspective: the backseat of a car pursuing a desperate man. By trapping the audience in this POV, Glazer makes you a member of the anonymous "karma police." The video's brilliant final act, in which the power dynamic is completely inverted, serves as a powerful and ambiguous statement on judgment and consequence. It’s a masterclass in using a simple concept to build maximum tension.
