Bon voyage! E-Motion Picture n Friday, May 17, 2002, at approximately 7 pm, a tremor shook the Palais des Festivals. Michael Moore The epicenter was the Lumière Theater. Imagine the simultaneous roar of the sound of one thousand bowling lanes. The cause of this turbulance: 2300 people, 4600 hands, a 15 minute thundering ovation accompanied by the expression of the overwhelming emotion of smiles and tears. Why? For whom? Michael Moore. A good man who lives his life as he directs, with such generosity that it is impossible to discern if after so much devotion for the people he still has his own life… He distributes his life to those who suffer, who struggle and toil in the heartbeat of America. Michael Moore, the director not the World Trade Organisation chairman (Michael Moore) has the same impact as that of a slap on the cheek. To paraphrase the great Cyrano de Bergerac that defends his independance at all cost* “He traverses the crowds and chattering groups Make Truth ring bravely out like clash of spurs!”; he’s got the Panache too! Bowling For O Columbine is Moore’s fourth movie. He starts from the fact, the killing at Columbine, he quests for the primal cause of it, and executes a sharp image of the the stark reality of the culture of fear distributed by the media, that enters like a burglar into homes, and stimulates paranoia. This important film is an exhibit of the “gun nuts nation”. Moore’s methodology has set the pattern of a way of expression particularly disconcerting for all the profiteers that hide themselves behind the veil of respectability in bunkers. Verdict? This reality is above all fictions, which can create like dramatic stories, tears, laughter, and thrills, and furthermore do more for the salvation of our souls than all the films depicting fiction. Bowling For Columbine deserves the highest award. Tough question for a festival: Will a jury of creators of fiction movies give an award to a documentary? Sursum corda! (Hearts high!) * “All my elegances are within. I do not prank myself out, puppy-like; My toilet is more thorough, if less gay; I would not sally forth--a half-washed-out Affront upon my cheek--a conscience Yellow-eyed, bilious, from its sodden sleep, A ruffled honor,…scruples grimed and dull! I show no bravery of shining gems. Truth, Independence, are my fluttering plumes. 'Tis not my form I lace to make me slim, But brace my soul with efforts as with stays, Covered with exploits, not with ribbon-knots, My spirit bristling high like your mustaches, I, traversing the crowds and chattering groups Make Truth ring bravely out like clash of spurs!” Cyrano de Bergerac from Edmond Rostand Day 10 • Cannes Film Festival 2002 COMPETITION The Pianist A brilliant Polish pianist, a Jew, is confined in the Warsaw ghetto where he experiences suffering and humiliation. He escapes deportation and hides in the ruins of the city. A German officer comes to his aid and helps him to survive. Irreversible Irreversible. Because time destroys everything. Because certain acts are irreparable. Because man is an animal. Because the will to get revenge is a natural impulse. Because most crimes go unpunished. Because the loss of a loved one destroys like lightening. Because love is the source of life. Because premonitions don’t change the course of things. Because time reveals everything. The worst and the best.
