Adam Curtis fans?
Discussion
Any fans of Adam Curtis?
I love his films/documentaries. I'll be honest, maybe I'm just thick, but usually after watching one, I couldn't tell you what its about in any real detail. And yet, they are almost hypnotising to watch, despite all being made up of grainy archive footage and trippy music and cheap text on the screen. I guess the main theme I pick up is mankind attempting to replicate either nature or computer technology as a way to shape society, and always getting it spectacularly wrong.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to his new movie - its on iPlayer on Sunday 16th Oct:
