I was fortune enough to catch a screening of this at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, TX for $3. It was my first exposure to Adam Curtis, and I have been hooked ever since. His work is hypnotic, unnerving sometimes, misleading / biased often, but always a good jumping off point for exploring ideas and people on your own. I read a description of his latest, "Hypernormalization," the was something like "a three hour journey through 100 wikipedia tabs" and it perfectly described his documentaries. They start with a basic premise but then veer wildly through topics whose links are tenuously held together by their relation to each other + stock footage and great music.
