Only a filmmaker like Michael Moore can premiere the trailer for his new film on CNN and get away with it. Seriously, CNN?
That’s the way it has unfolded and earlier today when CNN added the trailer to Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story to their video archives. A documentary about the global financial crisis and the U.S. economy with a focus on the time of transition between President Obama and Bush, this looks like another exercise in Moore’s personal style of documentary filmmaking. Some may not agree or like him for his stance and how he goes about making his point but the film is guaranteed to spark conversation.
Capitalism: A Love Story premieres at TIFF in a few weeks time and opens in limited release on September 23rd.
y’know what, this looks like it could be a return to form for M.Moore. I’m looking forward to this.
I always look forward to the latest M. Moore joint, even if I don’t always like his films. Sicko was pretty solid, and both Columbine and Roger&Me are amazingly entertaining docos. Fah911 was pretty strained though.
plays like 90s Michael Moore a la Awful Truth and the Big One. Serious issue, probably not taking it very seriously. Maybe he’s putting out a populist entertainment movie wagging fingers everywhere to try to get people to remember him as he was during the 90s.
