Into the darkness
It Felt Like a Kiss started life as an experimental film I made for the Ö÷²¥´óÐã last year. My aim was to try and find a more involving and emotional way of doing political journalism on TV.Ìý I decided to make a film about something that has always fascinated me - how power really works in the world.

Brooker explained your work perfectly as 'the consequences of ideas' and I have felt the same way for some time now. So happy you are online in some form. I would love to hear your opinion on how The Mayfair Set has held up. The insight into the rationale of US Junk Bond traders was so eye opening.

It says on the Ö÷²¥´óÐã site that you will be posting an hour long cut of it on your site today, June 19th, when Manchester Festival finishes. No sign of it yet...please don't forget. I have directed readers to it from my blog [, which this week is devoted entirely to the boot shaking experience of walking [& often running] round It Felt Like A Kiss.
Bravo Adam Curtis, you're work is magnificent.
