Adam Curtis - It Felt Like A Kiss

...back on iPlayer. coming from the installation of the same name, it eschews Curtis' usual progressive narrative arguments and voiceover in favour of a bombardment of images of the past century, with an amazing soundtrack, all building to an ecstatic/terrifying/touching climax. a bit like a real life Ludovico Technique, this was hands down the best thing we saw last year and we can't recommend this highly enough, we really can't.


see it at Adam Curtis' blog, here.

THE ORKLY KID (Trent Harris, 1985, 35 mins)
See a young Crispin Glover set about organising a TV talent show in his small town home, hell bent on bringing his Olivia Newton-John impersonation to the world. Harris (director of Rubin & Ed) has never widely released the short, part 3 of the Beaver trilogy, but we're bringing it to you tonight.
