"Fahrenheit 9/11" wins Palme D'or in Cannes
Posted by Mike Kremer on May 23, 2004 at 19:24
(62.188.48.74)The film documentary, Farenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore, and directed by Quentin Tarrantino, has won
the Palme D'or, the most prestigious film award in the world.
Its the first time for 50 years that a documentary has been awarded with such honour.
Its a film that depicts President Bush from the time of his election, thru 9/11, into the present Iraq war.
Its a very moving film, mixed with sadness and wry humour, but extremely critical of President Bush, showing him to be well 'out of his depth', on all counts.
Before the award, distributors in the USA would not touch the film, (I wonder why?) effectively banning it. But since this award, its publicity has provoked
a rethink.
The owners are now trying to find a USA distributor which could take some time.My point is:- I'll bet you guys dont get to see it until after your election is over.
