of course the movie was political, but a point you seem to miss, is this showing at Cannes has fuckall to do with how France as a whole feels about us.

OK... lets be realistic here. I am not saying that people ONLY like it because of France and how France feels but i think it would be extremely ignorant to say it plays ZERO role. What role would the fact that it is Iran if we show "I hate Isrealies, an objective look at Jewish History" at their film festival? zero? I think thats a little naive.
It has to play a role. Politics plays a role. Partisan politics plays a role. European/US politics plays a role. Liberal/Conservative plays a role. We are not robots you know.
I fail to see how any objective look at the situation could not suggest that the deck might be stacked against US/Conservative/President Bush/War in Iraq/War on Terror politics at Cannes, France
