Bowling for Columbine

Product Description Documentary concerning the Columbine school shooting incident and dissecting America's fascination with handguns. The project includes interviews with National Rifle Association president Charlton Heston and rocker Marilyn Manson. This film was the first documentary accepted into the Cannes Film Festival in 46 years and won awards. Additional Features The Bowling for Columbine DVD has an enthusiastic commentary track by Moore's former receptionists and interns. The now out-of-print two-disc special edition contained an updated voice-over introduction from Michael Moore on the first disc, as well as a direct-to-camera talk on the second disc in which he discussed reactions to the film, and his reaction to winning an Oscar (he had to recite his celebrated acceptance speech because the Academy refused permission for him to show a clip, and he offered his take on who was booing whom). Other extras were good, thoughtful, funny, and provocative interviews with ex-Clinton Press Secretary Joe Lockhart and with film critic Charlie Rose, plus a moving return to Littleton, Colorado--home of Columbine High School--to find out what local people thought of the documentary. --Mark Walker
