"Riz Ahmed's two most recent films (Mogul Mowgli, Sound of Metal) see him give not only the best performances of his career, but the standouts of the past year full stop," writes Kaleem Aftab in his profile of the British multi-hyphenate. From this vantage point of critical acclaim, Ahmed reflects on his career, his heritage and their intersections.Adam Curtis's compendious new series Can't Get You out of My Head, subtitled 'An Emotional History of the Modern World', offers a steep, giddy ride through how we got here - a time of many crises including, in his telling, a fatalistic mood amongst too many, after all the clashes and calamities of the twentieth century, that radical reform and democratic control are dangerous mirages.
So he tells Nick Bradshaw in an extensive conversation ranging across the role of ideas and emotions in history, his quarrel with erstwhile radicals in the cultural world, and the ways and means of his crazy-quilt film constructions mixing his voiceover assertions, sublime pop music and montages of mad metaphors from the far reaches of the BBC archives.
As well as talking us through a selection of those images, Curtis also offers us his own guide through ten films that capture the mood of their times - from Stalker to Scream 2 to The Souvenir.
