HyperNormalisation (2016)
Country: GB
Technical: col 166m
Director: Adam Curtis
Cast: doc.
Synopsis:
Curtis explains how in the modern world chaotic and complex events have been explained away by politicians and experts, reducing them to a simple narrative we can all understand. The missed opportunity of bringing Syria into the fold politically, Gaddafi's connivance at his own demonization, the rise of Trumpism, Brexit and Islamic terrorism all fall within the ambit of his teasing apart of the spaghetti of the last 45 years.
Review:
Far more coherent than Bitter Lake, though no less damning of western politicians, this film is full of painful ironies and parallels, analysing the consequences of political decision making while avoiding the simplifications he criticises elsewhere.
