After Instagram announced it was adopting 60-second videos earlier this year, IndieWire wondered how filmmakers and artists would use the platform and questioned whether or not it could become a space for digital short films. While the juries still out, it appears Radiohead is taking full advantage of the app by releasing a series of short film vignettes directly on their Instagram page. Earlier this month, the band partnered with \u201cThe Double\u201d director Richard Ayoade, and now they\u2019ve gotten \u201cThe Lobster\u201d director Yorgos Lanthimos to helm the latest one, featuring the song \u201cIdentikit\u201d off their new album.<\/p>\n
Starring \u201cHoly Motors\u201d actor Denis Lavant, the vignette is a single camera shot featuring a man eating in an empty restaurant, save for the cook in the background. At the start it appears the man is simply alone eating his meal, but as Lanthimos slowly pushes in on the actor, it appears not everything is quite as it seems.<\/p>\n
The partnership with \u201cRadiohead\u201d comes at a high point in Lanthimos\u2019 career. The \u201cDogtooth\u201d director has earned raves this year for his romantic satire \u201cThe Lobster,\u201d which many have put on their best of 2016 lists, and he\u2019s currently ramping up an intriguing new project called \u201cThe Killing Of A Sacred Deer,\u201dwhich will star Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman. \u201cThe Lobster\u201d is currently playing in theaters. Watch his \u201cIdentikit\u201d vignette below.<\/p>\n
