‘Lula’ Review: Oliver Stone’s Documentary About Brazilian President Is Illuminating & Accessible – Cannes Film Festival
Brazilians drenched in anti-Lula propaganda will find this film illuminating. But this is really made with its prime target audience being Americans.
America’s role is calmly but forcefully described by investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald, who gives due praise to a local hacker who provided him with some incendiary raw material. He is an ingratiating interviewer; the questions we hear often amount to little more than “tell me why you’re so great.” Lula da Silva is obviously a different beast from some of his other subjects, notably Vladimir Putin or Fidel Castro, with whom his chummy style felt like negligence.
