(ANSA) - CANNES, 12 JUL - "JFK Revisited: Through The Looking Glass" is the new documentary work that OliverStone brings to Cannes on the thirtieth anniversary of his most famous and controversial film, "JFK", nominated for eight Oscars in 1991 and then winner of two statuettes. Presented out of competition with narrative voices by Whoopy Goldberg and Donald Sutherland, and combined with the Director's Cut of the film in the "Cinéma à laplage" program, the journey into the so-called "Kennedy Conspiracy" builds on the truths that are beginning to emerge from the documents secreted by the American Congress.
"When you make a fiction film - says Stone - you can strive to remain as close as possible to the truth of the facts and the testimonies, but you are always attackable for that part of artistic invention that the story requires. A documentary, on the other hand, starts from facts and documents, makes witnesses speak. and protagonists and is therefore much more credible ".
Thanks to the close collaboration with the activist writer James DiEugenio (who wrote the screenplay with Stone), the film reopens for the umpteenth time a dossier in which the unanswered questions far exceed the established facts. The (and partly documented) thesis in "JFK Revisited: Through TheLooking Glass", starts from the investigation stubbornly carried out by the prosecutor Jim Garrison, the first to come into possession of the famous "Zapruder film", the first not to believe the official truths of the Commission Warren in Congress, the first to disclose Oswald's dubious collusions with the anti-astral environments, the mafia and the secret services before the murder, and to point out the countless omissions in the official actions following the attack.
