> Adam Curtis's movies are more like long essays

... with a great soundtrack. ;-)

Seriously, though, thinking of them as essays is a very good idea. When I hear documentary, I usually think of David Attenborough, fact-conveying kind of film.

Curtis is more about ideas, and my usual reaction to his films is "Now that gave me a lot to think about."
