American director of films and music videos, known for the feature films One Hour Photo (2002) and Never Let Me Go (2010), and for acclaimed music videos for artists such as Johnny Cash, Michael Jackson and Madonna.

Romanek is known both for feature films and for directing high-profile music videos. Reviews on DeBaser discuss his direction of One Hour Photo and his cinematic adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, noting strong performances by actors including Robin Williams, Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield, and Keira Knightley.

Reviews discuss Mark Romanek's One Hour Photo (2002) as an introspective thriller anchored by Robin Williams. Never Let Me Go (2010), adapted from Kazuo Ishiguro, is read as a poignant, non-sentimental drama about clones and organ donation. Critics praise direction, performances and Romanek's music-video sensibility.

For:film fans, cinephiles, and followers of music-video directors

 What I can say is that what is observed within these brief (or perhaps infinite) hundred and twenty minutes is as much cruel as it is pitiless, despite the disconcerting peace and lightness that characterizes the protagonists' lives.
