Cannes presents: 'Sicko'

May 20, 2007

Three years after triumphing at Cannes, Michael Moore returned to the international film festival on Saturday with his latest documentary. The world premiere of "Sicko", a biting and polemical look at the US health system, was considered such a must-see by the thousands of critics and reporters here that it is being shown in the festival's biggest theatre -- even though it's not even in the official competition. His last film, "Fahreinheit 9/11" walked off with Cannes's Palme d'Or trophy in 2004 for its scathing criticism of the White House and US President George W. Bush's reaction to the September 11, 2001 attacks and the war on Iraq, and the festival premiered his "Bowling for Columbine" in 2002. Images and soundbites of the "Sicko" press conference.
