I'd thought the days of this kind of film-making were done and dusted on the BBC, but clearly someone somewhere likes him enough to keep him protected. (I know someone who works with a good friend of his, and by all accounts he was very closely watched while making 'The Power of Nightmares'...) What I like most about his work is his willingness to subvert the conventions of documentary making. His use of film clips, overtly leftfield footage, and almost OTT soundtracks all draw attention to the fact that he's advancing a thesis rather than delivering a factual narrative. He seems to particularly enjoy building up semi-paranoid narratives, again drawing attention to the symbiotic relationship between the grand narratives of public life and those that exist in the world of cinema and fiction. My hunch is that he's read more than his fair share of Don Delillo, whose work has strong thematic parallels with his (eg. 'Libra' and 'Underworld'). Here's hoping he continues to develop his unique oeuvre... Good on you for flagging up this man’s work.
