Moore film 'won Cannes on merit'

BBC NEWS | "Cannes jury head Quentin Tarantino has said Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 won the Palme d'Or on merit alone.

The documentary alleges links between US President George Bush and top Saudi families, including the Bin Ladens.

But Kill Bill director Tarantino insisted Moore's overt political themes did not influence his jury's choice.

'I knew all this politics crap would be brought up,' he said. 'We all agreed that Fahrenheit 9/11 was the best movie of the competition.' "
