Sinopse: O documentário compara o rentável sistema de saúde norte-americano ao de outros países, como França e Cuba. Do mesmo diretor de "Tiros em Columbine", exibido na 26ª Mostra.

Direção: Michael Moore
Produção: EUA. 2007. 113 min. Livre




El sistema de salud estadounidense.
Moore decidió, para su documental "Sicko" ("loco", "enfermo"), llevar a Cuba a un grupo de estadounidenses que trabajaron en las ruinas de las torres derribadas del World Trade Center, donde adquirieron enfermedades respiratorias, entre otras, y que no cubrían sus aseguradoras o simplemente se trataba de enfermos sin cobertura de ningún tipo.





Following on the heels of his 2004 Palm d'Or for Fahrenheit 9/11 and his Oscar® winning film Bowling for Columbine, acclaimed filmmaker Michael Moore's new documentary sets out to investigate the American healthcare system. Sticking to his tried-and-true one-man approach, Moore sheds light on the complicated medical affairs of individuals and local communities. Sicko promises to be every bit as indicting as Moore's previous films.

A documentary structured primarily around human interest tales of American's troubles with the U.S. health care system.

This is Michael's third film in a row to be an "Official Selection" at the Cannes Film Festival ("Bowling for Columbine" and "Fahrenheit 9/11" were the other two). Three years ago "Fahrenheit 9/11" won the top prize at Cannes, the Palme d'Or. "Fahrenheit" went on to become the largest grossing Palme d'Or winner in history. In 2002, "Bowling for Columbine" won the 55th Anniversary Prize.
