A TALE OF ZEALOUS BUFFOONERY

Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 is Shoddy Journalism but Cracking Viewing

(Sept. 24, 2004) There are, basically, two ways to make a documentary. One is the “I am a camera” approach, where there is no explicit editorial line, the footage speaks for itself, the camera is a mute intermediary, observing. Take, for example, D. A. Pennebaker’s brilliant ‘Don’t Look Back’, which didn’t require – indeed, would have been immeasurably worse for – an explicatory voice over the footage of Bob Dylan’s 1965 tour of England.
