Pas vu, pas pris Reviews

It has been a while since I saw this movie back then when I was living in France. Basically, Pierre Carles is some kind of French Michael Moore. The big difference is that in France, the people criticized by him pretty much managed to censor his movies and barely no one has seen them, even in France, whereas Michael Moore is one of the most successful documentary maker, at least, if you check the box-office results. Anyway, in his first movie, Pierre Carles decides to disclose the close relationships between some major media personalities and some highly placed politicians, showing in the process that the media are totally biased in France (like everywhere else, I'm pretty sure). When it was released, it was highly controversial and I was expecting some fireworks. Unfortunately, I must admit, I thought it was a little bit underwhelming. I mean, it was pretty good and really interesting but, honestly, there was not a single moment when I was really surprised about what was told during this documentary. What I mean by that is way before watching this flick, I was already aware of those connections and I didn't feel like this movie was providing some sensational revelation. Still, it remains a very solid documentary and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
