MK Ultra

About This Movie

MK Ultra offers this fascinating blend of dance and documentary that digs into a rather unsettling chapter of history. Directed by Rosie Kay, it weaves together contemporary choreography with those eerie mind control experiments from the Cold War era. The Rosie Kay Dance Company delivers performances that feel both haunting and reflective, capturing the disorientation and manipulation present in the source material. Adam Curtis's documentary segments break the flow in a way that feels intentional, providing context that complements the physical storytelling. The pacing can be jarring, but that’s part of its charm—it leaves you contemplating the long shadows these experiments cast on our culture. A distinctive piece, really, especially for those who appreciate the interplay of art and history.
