Michael Moore wins the Palm D'Or for Fahrenheit 9/11
“It’s very important that the jury gave the Palme d’Or to this film and also for Michael Moore to have won this for a piece of brilliant film and not just as a piece of political statement. The things he says can no longer be said on American TV and this film has reclaimed and pushed forward a realm of cinema which can place it’s arguments in front of the public. It is based on a dialectic between the audience, the film-maker and the media and it does something very important.”
