I saw them all a few years ago and I highly recommend them. Adam Curtis's movies are more like long essays than documentaries but all worth watching.

- Cephlin 9y agoMe too, they were being aired as I was at university and our lecturer showed them to us. One of the best things I learnt at university was the existance of Adam Curtis and his documentaries! I love how he creates an amazing montage of footage taken from the BBC archives to help narrate his documentaries. He never creates new footage.
- krmboya 9y ago> Adam Curtis's movies are more like long essays... Aha.. that's a good way of putting it.
- krylon 9y ago> Adam Curtis's movies are more like long essays ... with a great soundtrack. ;-) Seriously, though, thinking of them as essays is a very good idea. When I hear documentary, I usually think of David Attenborough, fact-conveying kind of film. Curtis is more about ideas, and my usual reaction to his films is "Now that gave me a lot to think about."
