Rating75%
The film version is Jeff Garlin's documentary on the work of John Waters. Waters talks for an hour and a half about different subjects that made him into who he is today while standing on a stage decorated with a pile of trash, some roses, and a confessional. Waters starts off by talking about his earliest negative influences. He then begins talking about directors of the macabre that inspired him on what to do with his films. He then talks about filmmaking experiences on each and every one of his films and tells stories about some of the Dreamlanders. He discusses sexual fetishes, court trials he has visited, how to make books cool again, and more. The last topic he speaks of is his hometown of Baltimore and all the things he has experienced there.

En août 1970, 600 000 fans ont afflué vers l'île de Wight pour assister au troisième et dernier festival qui se tiendra sur l'île. Outre la musique, ils ont également jeté un coup d'œil sur la cupidité, le cynisme et la corruption qui allaient affliger l'industrie de la musique pour les années à venir. Ils ont également assisté à la performance finale droguée de Jimi Hendrix en Angleterre deux semaines seulement avant qu'il ne rencontre une mort tragique. Quand tout fut fini, la vision du rock and roll par les fans n'a plus jamais été la même.

The major portion of the film is spent addressing excerpts from the millions of memos, nicknamed 'Yellow Perils' by his first Pentagon staff and 'Snowflakes' by the second, that Rumsfeld wrote during his time as a congressman and advisor to four different presidents, twice as United States Secretary of Defense. It also focuses on a response Rumsfeld gave to a question at a U.S. Department of Defense news briefing on February 12, 2002 about the lack of evidence linking the government of Iraq with the supply of weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups. The content of the memos are varied, covering everything from the aftermath of Watergate, to the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal, to the definition of the word “terrorism”. Morris returns to the motif of snowflakes swirling within a snow globe throughout the documentary as he discusses the context of the memos with Rumsfeld, notes to which the Defense Secretary gave him limited access while preparing the film, and which Rumsfeld agrees to read aloud on camera.

À partir d'images d'archives remastérisées, le film raconte le parcours d'Ayrton Senna, du karting à la Formule 1. Les intervenants ne sont qu'entendus en voix off, laissant toute la place à l'image au pilote brésilien. En F1, on suit les débuts du pilote au volant de la Toleman en 1984, jusqu'à son accident mortel du mois de mai 1994 et aux hommages nationaux qui lui seront rendus au Brésil par ses pairs et le pays tout entier.

The film is concerned chiefly with four topics: Chełmno, where mobile gas vans were first used by Germans to exterminate Jews; the death camps of Treblinka and Auschwitz-Birkenau; and the Warsaw Ghetto, with testimonies from survivors, witnesses, and perpetrators.
