Another fascinating documentary (in three parts) from Adam Curtis. I'm sure he's known to many stackers on here.

This one dates back to 2004 but I'm just watching it for the first time.

His other films such as Century of the Self have been very thought-provoking.

What does everyone else think of his work? I'd welcome any insights, recommendations, criticisms..

Never seen his work but I once read a book on dream interpretation which was interesting. Don't know if it was all nonsense because how can one test any of that stuff that is in peoples head/dreams? I'm skeptical of the whole thing in regards to us being able to interpret dreams "yet".

Google the title.

^^ yes nothing about our nocturnal imaginings, it's all about terrorism, neocons and the politics of fear. He has a very compelling style. Everything I've seen from him so far has been made for the BBC I believe, so he has a pretty credible background.

Thanks, and I thought it was about dreams. Doh!

Have a quick look. The whole thing is over 2hrs but it's in 3 parts.
