Which Adam Curtis documentary is a good entry point for people new to his work?

3 posts in this topic

Adam Curtis' documentaries tell a very interesting perspective on political power, society, psychology and history. 

For anyone who's familiar with his work: What would be a good entry point to recommend people to check out here on actualized.org? Perhaps the 3 part Pandora's Box series, or The Century of the Self? Or maybe it would be better to start with his newer ones and work backwards?

He has produced a great many documentaries, and they are all interrelated and tell part of his story. Great soundtracks too!

@outlandish thanks for the introduction :) i can probably tell you in a month. "hypernormalisation" triggers me to watch first. pretty dark though.

WXYZ i`ll do this as kitchen workout after tomorrow.

it`s pretty long and maybe not the best to start as it`s rolling up a lot of matters and time , but if watching just one of his works I´d probably watch this one. also didn`t watch the others, so that might change.

i guess now i need therapy. it`s leaving some things open about virtual reality, that are pretty hard to stomach.
