Where to Invade Next (15.)
Directed by and featuring Michael Moore. 120 mins.
Just weeks away from the big EU referendum, our great generational defining choice between Project Fear and Project Nutter, here's an unexpected intervention from American film provocateur Michael Moore (Fahrenheit 911, Bowling for Columbine) - a new film about how brilliant life in Europe is. (And Iceland and Tunisia.) His latest jape is to pretend the Pentagon Chiefs of Staff have decided to abandon the idea of trying to improve the American way of life by waging costly wars. Instead they have asked Moore to identify countries that have policies and ideas worth co-opting and go and invade them singlehandedly and claim their ideas. So he goes to Italy for their generous holiday allowances; France for their quality school meals; Germany for factories with windows and ability to address their past crimes; Slovenia for their free university education; Portugal for abandoning the war on drugs; Iceland for its sexual equality and putting corrupt bankers in prison and Tunisia for its abortion clinics.
