Details: Product description Bowling For Columbine Amazon.ca First documentary presented in official competition at the Cannes Film Festival since The World of Silence by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Louis Malle, in 1956, Bowling for Columbine won the Grand Jury Prize for this great film mass, in addition to winning the Oscar for best documentary. Directed by the turbulent Michael Moore, it is one of the essentials of a good video library. After attacking General Motors in Roger and Me, then Nike in The Big One, it is now America as a whole and its uncontrolled passion for firearms that Michael Moore is attacking. Wondering why his country holds the sad record for the annual number of violent murders, he takes the opportunity to pour a particularly abrasive itchy hair on the gaping wounds of racism, poverty, the climate of fear maintained by the media and an aggressive foreign policy. With a rare talent as a teacher, Michael Moore disarms the most skeptical by dismantling the cogs of violence one by one. A scathing interview with actor Charlton Heston, president of the National Rifle Association, is the climax of this documentary packed with archival footage and voice-over commentaries that are sometimes alarming, sometimes provocative. Despite some ease of writing, Bowling for Columbine is a mine that must be left to explode. Its message, its form and its relevance make it an absolutely necessary work. --Helen Faradji
