Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Subtitled 'Impolite Thoughts on the Class Struggle', this is a righteous rant against the iniquities of a global capitalism that claims 'it alone knows the truth, is moral, can deal with politics', while at the same time it privatises its manifest failures. It's hard to argue with the gist of the polemic, but the editorial would benefit from a few hard facts. There's some funny stuff down Haiti way with a vendor of recycled plastic bottles, but too much comes straight out of the mouths of various French academics.
