Well before the release of “Licorice Pizza,” the close relationship between filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson and rock band Haim is well-documented. The director has helmed a number of the band’s music videos and has gone on record with how close he is with the Haim family. But that bond was made even more real with the release of “Licorice Pizza,” which stars Alana Haim and features cameos from the entire Haim family. And now that the film is released and earning awards recognition, Anderson has gone back to making music videos for the band.
As seen in the new clip, “Lost Track,” Paul Thomas Anderson is behind the camera yet again for Haim as he helms another dance-y video for the band. Once again, Anderson utilizes the acting talents of Haim to tell another story in a music video. This time, the video follows the lead singer, Danielle Haim, as she has to deal with a bunch of women that she doesn’t necessarily enjoy, including her two sisters, Alana and Este.
As mentioned, Anderson and Haim have collaborated on a number of music videos through the years. “Lost Track,” if my math is correct, marks the 10th video the filmmaker has created for the band, including 5 others since 2019. Anderson is currently riding a wave of acclaim for “Licorice Pizza.” The film has earned three Oscar nominations, including Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film.
