OSAKA -- "Fahrenheit 9/11," American film director Michael Moore's savage attack on the policies of President George W. Bush, opened nationwide Saturday to long lines and enthusiastic crowds.
The film, which won the Best Picture award at this year's Cannes Film Festival, began playing nationwide at more than 160 cinemas after premiering in Tokyo last weekend.
In Osaka, crowds began lining up early Saturday morning for the first showing. At the Umeda Garden Cinema, the lines were long. Some of those who saw the film said afterward that they would likely see it again.
