Adam Curtis on his new documentary series
A new series of documentaries from Adam Curtis, are viewed by some as an event with a capital E. He is a a British film maker like few others, occupying a distinct place in the genre, for his use of the form as a vast collage, using archive footage, music and his own voice, to create a tapestry that delves into big ideas, from philosophy, to culture and politics, and in the case of his latest, six hour long films, sets out to tell us, no more and no less, than how we got from there, to here. Adam Curtis talks to Razia Iqbal about his new series - it's called Can't Get You Out of My Head.
