The TVI Take
Adam Curtis's 2016 essay film about how politicians, financiers, and technological utopians gave up on the real world and created a simplified fakeness. Educational about postmodern politics, Syria, and financial deregulation.
Curtis's method — archival footage repurposed as argument — is at its most formal here.
