    dir. Adam Curtis, UK, 2009, video, 54 mins, color and b/w

    This experimental documentary utilizes found footage of ads, crime-scene photos, Doris Day/Rock Hudson movies, Rosemary’s Baby, propaganda films, etc, to present a commentary on the effect our country achieving supreme power had on the American Dream. “It Felt Like a Kiss started life as an experimental film I made for the BBC. My aim was to try and find a more involving and emotional way of doing political journalism on TV. I decided to make a film about something that has always fascinated me – how power really works in the world. To show that power is exercised not just through politics and diplomacy – but flows through our feelings and emotions, and shapes the way we think of ourselves and the world.” – Adam Curtis
