The bi-weekly film series at Greens N Grains Deli presents Michael Moore’s latest mockumentary of the “American Way” on Thursday, March 18 at 7 pm.

Premiering in USA and Canadian theaters on October 2, 2009, Capitalism: A Love Story has just been released in mass distribution on DVD March 9, 2010.

The film alternates between fierce critiques of the status quo, coupled with personal portrayals of the suffering caused by the recent economic crisis – countered with Moore’s trademark comic social satire. In February 2009 during the final production, he issued an appeal to the people who worked on Wall Street or in the financial industry to share firsthand information, invoking them to, “Be a hero and help me expose the biggest swindle in American history.”

Deborah Young, writing for the trade paper The Hollywood Reporter, wrote of Capitalism: A Love Story, “Although it’s less focused than Sicko or Fahrenheit 9/11… because its subject is more abstract, this is a typical Moore oeuvre: funny, often over the top and of dubious documentation, but with strongly made points that leave viewers much to ponder and debate after they walk out of the theater.” Young acknowledged Moore’s simplification of the topic and added, “But here his talent is evident in creating two hours of engrossing cinema by contrasting a fast-moving montage of ’50s archive images extolling free enterprise with the economic disaster of the present.”

The film will be shown in the loft above the Deli at Greens N Grains Natural Food Store in downtown Egg Harbor and screenings are free – however, the seating is limited to 30 persons. You may make a seating reservation by calling 920.868.9999 or by email at info@greens-n-grains.com.

“The $6.50 natural and organic dinner special; soup, salad, a fresh baked roll and tea will feature another tasty example of the Deli’s specialties,” says Kathy Navis, store owner. “We start serving at 6 pm with the film screening at 7 pm. The dinner special is available to anyone without reservations, but our film seating is limited.”
