    its great from a stylisitc point of view - his music and found footage and primative typography is unique in documentary on mainstream TV. Always feels more like video art than journalism - which I think it may be. His arguments are tenuous and connections fragile but they always seem to work as a whole - and he always always introduces you to stuff you didn't know before (well me anyway) - I'd never heard of that Russian author who was so influential. I'd love to meet the guy and find out more about his motivations. Its not rigourous journalism - more impressions of history and our times - love it.
