Neither of us, Robert [del Naja] nor I, quite know what we’ve created [with 'Massive Attack V Adam Curtis']. I call it a ‘provocative entertainment’ about what we’ve lived through over the past 50 years, from the idealism of the sixties through the collapse of those dreams in the seventies and their replacement by the triumph of a kind of managerial stasis, an imaginative paralysis imposed upon us by the powers that be—the marketers, the hedge-funders, the politicians, and I emphatically include the journalists in this—in which no one anymore aspires to a brighter vision of tomorrow, let alone toward the effort of realizing such a vision, in which we are constantly being told that this is all there is, this is how it has to be. But it’s worse than that because we are constantly being fed these two-dimensional visions of the past, the dead past—not just in terms of fears but also desires.

It’s hard to explain Adam Curtis’s documentaries without sounding slightly insane.
