w.r.t adam curtis, I always feel, watching his documentaries, that it all seems too concocted a narative. I only thought this more with his more recent films though. Watching his previous stuff, it's a little more conventional, lots of talking heads etc, less absolute in his delivery.
I remember an interviw I heard with him where he discusses how he feels the internet allows for more complex delivery and how TV demands its content be digestible for the semi comatose. "it felt like a kiss" (I never went I only saw the film) was obviously an effort to encapsulate a lot of complexity into one show, with no audio commentary, but this recent doc seemed a lot more simplified and reverential in parts; it seems he's pandered to the demands of TV.
