Planet CNN
Le Nouvel Obs: “A resounding success! Logically, after this extraordinary document, we should no longer be able to debate television in general, as we did before.
By renouncing any strong judgment and banishing all commentary, Laffont in a way traps CNN's logic in its own way by letting the images speak for themselves.
The existence of magnificent dissidents like Frédéric Laffont and of a refuge like Arte has never seemed so dramatically necessary to us…”
Le Monde: "Frédéric Laffont avoids commentary. He prefers to let the images speak for themselves.
We discover the system and the philosophy of the channel.
The documentary is remarkable, what it shows is disturbing."
