Gore Vidal & THE UNITED STATES OF AMNESIA

[Wellesnet]

NYT review:

"The whole point to a ruling class is that there is no need for them to form a conspiracy. They all think alike to begin with."

"The dream of any society is total control."

"Americans are farcical when it comes to Force Majeur and money, two things that they worship. You can't expect a democracy from a society like this."

"Envy is the central fact of American life."

"Art is not a democracy. In fact, art is the enemy of democracy" - Gore Vidal

This documentary is now available at Netflix On Demand. It is, quite frankly, stunning and, given Vidal's famously icy temperament, surprisingly moving.
