Interesting facts

Junun is a 2015 documentary film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. It documents the making of the album Junun in Mehrangarh Fort in Rajasthan, India, by the Israeli composer Shye Ben Tzur, the English composer and Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood, the Indian ensemble the Rajasthan Express, and the Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich.

Production and release

Junun was filmed at the Mehrangarh Fort in Rajasthan, India. Much of the documentary crew's professional camera equipment was held by customs, forcing them to shoot entirely with carry-on consumer-grade digital cameras and rental equipment from India. Anderson used Godrich's drone to capture aerial footage of the fort. Production was secretive and the film was announced two months before its release.

Junun premiered at the New York Film Festival. It was released on video on demand through the MUBI film streaming service on October 9, 2015 and on iTunes on November 20.
