Before climbing to Oscar-nominated fame with films such as ADAPTATION and BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, Spike Jonze had carved a name for himself as one of the hottest music video directors around. Practically reinventing the wheel, Jonze created stunning, innovative works for bands including The Beastie Boys, Weezer, Bjork, Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, The Pharcyde, and many others. This collection of his work runs to over four hours of seminal, visionary work, including all his music videos, an array of documentaries, behind the scenes material, audio commentaries, interviews, and a whole lot more.
