Touching Sean Penn
Touching the Void director Kevin Macdonald is keen on Richard Kelly's new bio of Sean Penn: "The book ends with a chapter on Penn's two visits to Baghdad... in the lead up to the war, in which he expressed solidarity with... ordinary Iraqis. This brave "fact-finding mission" was ridiculed and misrepresented by a large section of the American press, who implied that "actors should stick to acting and leave the politics to the grown-ups". As the actor Peter Coyote says in the book: "What a spectacular display of hypocritical horseshit... We have a mass media... dedicated to every aspect of actors' lives. We have entire magazines dedicated to where celebrities shop... everything about celebrities fascinates us except their political opinions... because the political opinion of a celebrity can be a detriment to merchandising".
