Crack Magazine has a new interview up featuring author and culture critic Nathalie Olah with filmmaker Adam Curtis. Pound for pound, Curtis is one of the most disarming, off-putting, and original thinkers of his generation.

In the old days – and this is not nostalgia, I’m just noting – when you were part of a church, a trade union, a political party or revolutionary movement, you felt that what you did would go on beyond you. Today, people are self-contained units and can’t bear the idea that they won’t exist.
