The film itself is fantastic and is personally my favourite of Michael Moore's documentary films. The only problem was that the case it was in was very slim, and the blurb on the back was in a different language. It worked fine and the quality was just as good, it just seemed as if it was a foreign version of the DVD (which I was not aware of)

.Review: Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.
Probably the most talked-about film of 2004, this controversial documentary by political filmmaker Michael Moore focuses on the administration of George W. Bush and his 'War on Terrorism' agenda. The film explores the government's handling of the terrorist attacks on September 11th 2001, explores the dubious relationship between both Bush administrations and the bin Laden family, questions the possible role of Saudi Arabia in the attacks, and looks at the fallout of the tragedy and subsequent events from a personal angle through the testimony of Lila Lipscomb, a Michigan woman whose son was killed in Iraq. The film premiered at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival under a cloud of controversy: Disney, Miramax's Florida-based parent company, pulled out of its role as distributor at the last minute, possibly not wishing to jeopardise its advantageous relationship with the Florida Governor Jeb Bush, which results in multi-million-dollar annual tax breaks for the company.

Already the highest grossing documentary of all time in America (also breaking records in Europe and the UK) and winner of the prestigious Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2004, 'Fahrenheit 9/11' is the powerful new film from Oscar-winning director Michael Moore. Following the huge critical and commercial success of 'Bowling For Columbine', Moore uses his characteristically deft humour and uniquely persistent style to launch an unflinching inquiry into the Bush administration's foreign policy. 'Fahrenheit 9/11' is by turns determinedly truthful, scathingly funny, intensely thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining. Combining rare footage, expert testimony and his one-of-a-kind dogged hunt for answers to tough questions, the film takes on the burning issues facing America today. Michael Moore turns a sceptical lens on President George W. Bush and his inner circle who ignored the Saudi connection to 9/11 and instead rushed headlong into war against Iraq...Read full review
