Anima (Music Video)

In a short musical film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, Thom Yorke of Radiohead scores and stars in a mind-bending visual piece. Shot in Prague and Les Baux-de-Provence, the short film follows Yorke dozing off while riding an underground train. When he finds himself unable to exit the station, he leaps across the turnstile and lands into a surreal world where he dances with a small army of people. The film is set to three Anima songs: “Not the News,” “Traffic,” and “Dawn Chorus.” Anime is choreographed by Damien Gilet, who helmed the choreo in Luca Guadagnino’s 2018 Suspiria adaptation (scored by Yorke). It features actress Dajana Roncione (Yorke’s current girlfriend), as well as the Swedish Göteborgs Operans dance company.
