Applause: Antonio

Emile de Antonio's 1968 documentary about Vietnam, made while the war raged, should not be missed. It's called "In the Year of the Pig." Passionate, impressionist, ironic, maddening in its dissection of cultural arrogance. Almost as brilliant as the Greene novel, The Quiet American.

And we make the same mistakes in the Middle East now.
