Every year, there's some controversy that enflames/embarrasses the Toronto Film
Festival—no one remembers Casuistry:
The Art Of Killing A Cat, but that was a real scene—and this year's
firestarter is D.O.A.P. (or Death Of A President), a mock-documentary
with a programme entry that begins thusly: "An unknown gunman assassinates
George W. Bush." Oh, mercy. For people of a certain political persuasion,
it's like something from the end of The Wizard Of Oz.
