MOORE BRINGS DOWN HOUSE: LONGEST STANDING OVATION 'IN HISTORY OF CANNES' FOR BUSH BASH FILM
Then there is this:
Adding to the strong political current running through this year's festival, from U.S. director Michael Moore's controversial documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" to striking workers in the streets, 28-year-old director Hans Weingartner brings "The Edukators."
The first German film to compete in Cannes in 11 years, it tells the story of three idealistic youths who break into rich people's villas and move around their furniture, leaving behind notes with messages such as: "You have too much money."
Their aim is not to steal from the rich to give to the poor, but to make their targets question their privileges. When they are surprised by one of the homeowners, they kidnap him and are forced to put their ideals into practice.
"I'm really happy to present this film in the country where the word revolution was invented," Weingartner told a news conference in this French Riviera resort.
What? A hundred million dead and enforced poverty for the survivors isn't enough for you fucking vermin?
I'd say more but unlike the aforementioned vermin I have to go to work now.

I'll bet the film didn't mention anything about the two kidnappers being arrested and ending up with nice long jail terms for their crimes.
