Directed by Grant Gee. With Radiohead, Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien. An entertaining "rockumentary" about Radiohead that shows some of the tedium of being a rock star, as well as some of the fun stuff.

In Meeting People Is Easy, director Grant Gee watches the band as they record their third album, the highly acclaimed OK Computer, then head out for an international tour, playing concerts and promoting the record in Europe, Japan, and the United States. Anyone expecting high-spirited hijinks in the manner of This Is Spinal Tap will be quickly disappointed (though anyone expecting high spirits from Radiohead has probably never heard their music).

In Grant Gee's tour documentary, Meeting People is Easy, we're taken on a disturbing, moody and atmospheric journey through the flip side of rock and roll - far away from the groupies, parties and glamour. Call it the music world's answer to 'Heart of Darkness'. The film follows Radiohead from their first anxious moments before the inaugural show of the OK Computer tour - May 22, 1997 in Barcelona, Spain - to their final triumphant performance 104 concerts later in New York's Radio City Music Hall

With that in mind, director Grant Gee has created something truly special with Meeting People Is Easy, a movie revealing that, critically acclaimed or not, the life and times of a rock supergroup can be pretty boring. Rather than focus on Radiohead's songs and concert footage, Gee takes us behind the scenes with his handheld super-8 camera to show us grainy images of the multiple interviews, backstage boredom, and all-around monotony that followed the British group in the wake of their critically acclaimed third album. It seems appropriate that a documentary following Radiohead during the aftermath of 1997's OK Computer-an album as conceptual as modern rock can get-should also be high-concept.

Meeting People Is Easy, first released on 30 November 1998, is a documentary by Grant Gee following British alternative rock band Radiohead on their exhaustive world tour following the success of their 1997 album OK Computer. In an interview, director Grant Gee explained the production process of filming Meeting People Is Easy. Gee explains that Radiohead "sat in these hotel suites for three days, four suites booked up simultaneously" doing interviews; 20-minute slots for interviews, a 40-minute slot if it was a bigger newspaper or magazine Soundtrack. The tour began on 22 May 1997 in Barcelona, Spain, and ended 104 performances later in New York's Radio City Music Hall
