Joshua Radin’s Brand New Day by Jon Watts
Jimmy Brown - 16th June 2010
Faced with Joshua Radin's breezy and optimistic acoustic ballad Brand New Day, Jon Watts takes arguably the only possible approach to make it interesting and entertaining: he turns it into the worst day of the singer's life.

Police harrassment, road accident, robbery, kidnapping and torture... Joshua is cynically, brutally (and enjoyably) victimised by the lot - all excellently photographed by DoP Matthew Santo. Joshua deserves a lot of credit for going with Jon's brand of black comedy, and ultimately the approach does underline his hopeful message. Sort of. Definitely made by a New Yorker.
