show proved conclusively that at least one American understands
irony. This is in similar vein, with him trying to talk to the
president of General Motors, who destroyed Moore's home town of
Flint, Michigan by closing the factories. A step away from normal
documentary, like Nick (Aileen Wuornos) Broomfield, the film-maker
is part of the movie, it's as much a documentary about making
documentaries, and is a style I like greatly. Swinging from farce to
tragedy, but always under control, it leaves an acrid taste in the
mouth. If I was Roger Smith, I'd find it very difficult to sleep at
night.
