Adam Curtis continues search for the hidden forces behind a century of
chaos

The documentary-maker’s new film, HyperNormalisation, continues his quest
to look beyond the ‘fake world’ to the unseen powers that have steered
modern history
Curtis suggests that the trending opposites of our times – the chatter of
social media and the stricture of Islamic fundamentalism – represent a
retreat from complexity into an existence that constantly reflects our
desires and anxieties back to us. Meanwhile, genuine power to change lives
becomes more opaque and distant, leaving large parts of the world helpless
and desperate. Along the way, this being Curtis, his film offers tragicomic
asides on Patti Smith and Occupy, <https://www.theguardian.com/world/occupy>
BlackRock investments and *The X-Files*.
