Cannes is smacking its lips in anticipation of filmmaker and provocateur
Michael Moore's latest jeremiad against the US administration, which
receives its premiere at the film festival today. Sicko, a documentary
tackling the state of American healthcare, focuses on the pharmaceutical
giants, and particularly on health insurers.

The film has already caused Moore - who won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in
2004 with Fahrenheit 911 - to clash with the American authorities. Now,
according to movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, whose Weinstein Company is
behind the film, the US government is attempting to impound the negative.
