The official trailer for Michael Moore’s SiCKO.

The new Michael Moore movie is scheduled for release by the end of this month. If you’re in Slovenia, you probably already know that the country appears in the film as well as in the official trailer above.

I’m a bit late coming to this. (If you speak Slovene, a TV report can be seen here) But I had some advance warning that it was coming. Back in February, one of the producers contacted me wanting to talk about the Slovenian health care system. (I think this post led them to me) We talked for a bit, but in the end they seemed to be mostly interested in finding “something strange” about the country. This was around carnival time, so I suggested going to Ptuj for Slovenia’s somewhat unique take on that. They hinted that they might do some filming in Ljubljana, and try to catch some kurenti there.

But in the end, they chose a clip from the popular sitcom Naša Mala Klinika, which features lots of goofy-looking doctors. Apparently, the actors were neither thrilled nor consulted about this. (Permission was given via the studio)

I’m also hoping that the movie isn’t needlessly harsh on Slovenia. I was hoping that their point would be: “If a poorer country of 2 million people can achieve universal health care, why can’t the world’s greatest hyperpower?” and not: “Our system sucks so much that we almost suck as much as Slovenia, OMGWTF amirite?”

SiCKO opens on June 29, 2007.

(Thanks Boštjan!)
