Fahrenheit 9/11 brings Cannes to a standing ovation

Let it be known: Fahrenheit 9/11 is damn good. So much so in fact, the audience at Cannes, the birthplace of future films and filmmakers, stood and cheered for 15 - 20 minutes (give or take a few).

Aintitcool has a couple reviews posted (click here) - a lot of both is actually a commentary on the social musings surrounding the film and the event.

Apparently, and I'm sure some Moore haters out there will appreciate this, Michael Moore for the first half, frequently abandons his "personally investigation" method and lets stock footage and the timeline of Bush administration events speak for themselves. In the 2nd half, Moore apparently all but disappears as facts speak louder than anything. Close with a personal thought, fade in John Lennon's 'Imagine' and..- Credits. Cue Standing Ovation.

That said: Cue Banter and rantings:
