If you want to stay healthy in America, don't get sick.

Following on the heels of his Palm d'Or winning '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.

This might hurt a little.

Now for my favourite review of this great movie.

The Cannes Film Festival is as much about films the world will never see as it is about films the world will. Last year's Southland Tales has gone into hiding, for example, almost certain to release in a completely different format than the one that played at the festival. This year Michael Moore, who won the Palme d'Or the last time he was here with Fahrenheit 9/11, is rushing to tell the world that Sicko contains 20 minutes of footage the U.S. government doesn't want you to see.

Shot in Cuba, Moore makes a case against the HMO medical system in America by reveling in the luxury of Havana's flagship hospital and by claiming that inmates at Guantanamo Bay have better healthcare than U.S. citizens. By showing the footage here in Cannes, Moore says, he fears arrest on his return to the U.S. and he doubts that this footage will be included in any version of the film played in America.

And much like the "Disney refuses to release my movie," controversy of Moore's previous Cannes visit, we can probably laugh this off as Michael being Michael. Indeed, Sicko is full of examples of Michael being Michael. During his visit to Cuba, he charters a boat to Guantanamo Bay with survivor volunteers from 9/11 who now suffer from severe respiratory illnesses to ask if the U.S. government might deign to offer them the same quality of healthcare it's offering the terrorists who planned the attacks.

Towards the film's end, he discovers that Jim Keneflick, proprietor of the web's largest anti-Moore website Moorewatch.com, is going to be forced to shut down his site after his wife becomes ill and he can't afford the $12,000 needed to pay for her care. So, keen to protect Keneflick's right to free speech, or so he says, he sends the money. Anonymously. Keneflick has only recently found out who his mystery donor was - after the film had been screened to an audience of thousands.

They say that true altruism doesn't exist, and in Michael Moore's case that's as true as any. Yes, Keneflick's wife got the help she needed, but only at the expense of her husband's humiliation on screen. Moore's fine distinction between documentary and comedy is what makes his films so popular, inspiring people to think while they laugh. Arguably more than any other filmmaker on the planet, Moore knows how to connect a wide audience - who'd usually much rather see Spider-Man - with a documentary format. It may be somewhat exploitative for any number of people who aren't Michael Moore, but it works.

Sicko presents a compelling case against HMOs, but as with most of Moore's work it is more than obvious that while the facts are indisputable there are plenty more he's chosen to ignore. For this British critic, his portrayal of the socialized system of our NHS made that abundantly clear. Yes, as Moore shows us, we don't pay for our hospital visits, and the cashier in hospitals gives us money for transport home after an operation, and our doctors are, indeed, incentivized to offer the best care to their patients.

But Moore neglects to ask how long we need to wait for a hospital bed in many cases. Or if people ever get sick because the hospitals they're staying in aren't clean enough. This is where our NHS fails, but because it doesn't support Moore's case it's simply not mentioned.

That the treatment of patients in America is shockingly inhuman in many cases is obvious, and Moore uncovers a huge number and variety of horror stories about it. Like much of his work, though, while the film will inspire plenty of discussion through its accessibility, the discussion about Moore himself will outweigh that of the subject he examines.

Why make a movie about the failings of the U.S. health care system now, at this specific moment in time?

Well, it is the number one domestic issue in the country, according to every poll that's taken. It is something that affects everyone. Everyone gets sick. Everyone needs to see the doctor at some point. And it's the best example of how our system is set up to benefit the few at the expense of the many.

A lot of critics are saying that this is your least controversial film to date. Why do you think they're saying that ... and do you agree with them?

I think maybe a better way to put it is that it may end up being a more dangerous film because it's less controversial, because it does reach out and will appeal to all kinds of people and not just hard-core Democrats. And because of that, if it reaches more people it has a better chance of having some impact.

Do you think you have the chance to win over some more people, the kind of people who wouldn't have seen a Michael Moore film a few years back?

Yeah, but I won them over not just by making this film but because they remember that crazy guy in the ball cap was one of the first to say that we're being led to war for fictitious reasons and that it wasn't going to work. Now, after all these years, people are seeing that's exactly what happened. So if I turned out to sort of have my finger on the pulse that time, maybe the next time it might be worth listening to what I'm saying.

What do you hope to accomplish with 'Sicko'? Do you just want to bring the issue to the fore of U.S. consciousness and spark a discussion, or do you think the film could actually be a catalyst to reform?

You know, it's hard to say. First and foremost, I make movies to entertain people and to give them a great two hours on a Friday night. So that's what I hope will happen.

Do you think we'll ever have universal health care?

Ha. Oh yeah. We're the last of the industrialized countries. The other 24 have it. We're the last one. So yeah, it'll definitely come to us.

In your opinion, what are the steps to get there?

People are going to have to demand it because the politicians will not do it on their own. They're taking way too much money from the insurance industry and the pharmaceutical companies. So only if people stand up and demand it, tell their members of Congress they want it, will it happen.

So, on the most basic level, if someone sees your film and gets fired up about the issue, what can they do to actually make a difference?

There's a bill in Congress H.R. 676, sponsored by Representative John Conyers. Tell your representatives to sponsor that bill.

You projected the 'Sicko' trailer on buildings in Times Square, Sunset Blvd. and other heavily trafficked public areas. Have you seen any feedback from this?

I think a lot of people were talking about it. I think the best sites were where we projected on the headquarters of some HMOs and pharmaceutical companies. I think that people really enjoyed that.

In the film, you mention anonymously helping the man who runs the biggest anti-Michael Moore Web site to pay some medical bills. Now that your assistance is no longer anonymous, have you had any further contact with him?

Yes, I called him before the first time we screened it at the film festival in Cannes and told him it was me. I didn't want him to be surprised by it.

And what did he say?

He was very grateful and thanked me and wished the film well.

And then said, "I'm still going to talk smack about you on my Web site tomorrow"?

Ha. Well, he might. That's my point. His freedom of speech shouldn't be taken away just because he can't afford health insurance.

No, definitely not. Now, the most controversial part of this film for most viewers will likely be the finale, in which you travel to Cuba with a group of Americans to see if they can get the health care there that they've been denied here. The Cuban people and medical community seemed to embrace you with open arms. Were they aware in advance that you were coming to Cuba?

They were, but I told them we wanted the same exact care that the Cuban people get. I didn't want any special treatment. In fact, we went around and visited other clinics and hospitals to see how Cubans were treated to make sure we would get that kind of treatment.
