Mark Romanek (born September 18, 1959) is an award-winning music video, TV commercial, and film director. He has directed music videos for numerous artists such as The The, David Bowie, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beck, and Sonic Youth.
One of his earliest notable videos was for the Nine Inch Nails song "Closer." Its critical acclaim was matched by its critical controversy as many accused the video of being disturbing, demonic, and demented. Romanek worked with NIN again for the song "The Perfect Drug." Additionally, Trent Reznor was originally hired to score Romanek's second full-length feature film, One Hour Photo.
Romanek's 2002 music video for Johnny Cash's cover of NIN's "Hurt" has been hailed by many critics and fans alike as the most personal and moving music video ever made. The song expresses self-loathing and the futility of worldly accomplishments; this content took on a new poignancy when sung by Cash near the end of his life, quietly performing in his memorabilia-filled home, with shots of the flood-ravaged "House of Cash" museum and archival shots of a younger, cockier Cash edited in. The video was nominated for seven VMAs, winning one for cinematography, and also won Romanek his third Grammy.
