About This Movie
Inquiry: The Great British Housing Disaster is a fascinating dive into the aftermath of 1960s council housing developments. Directed by Adam Curtis, this documentary has a unique narrative flow that stitches together interviews, archival footage, and a sort of hypnotic voiceover that draws you in. The tone is both somber and reflective, revealing how ambitious social plans went awry—leading to thousands of homes being deemed uninhabitable. The pacing feels deliberately slow, allowing you to absorb the gravity of the failures and their impact on communities. Curtis's exploration of systemic issues is compelling, and the practical effects of poor design choices are vividly illustrated, making it a distinctive piece for those interested in architectural history and social policy.
