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 (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 (song)|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.
