Film records effects of eating only McDonald's for a month
25.01.2004 12.00pm - By DAVID USBORNE NEW YORK - Normally sane actors have been known to gain or
lose huge amounts of weight for their art. Think of Renee Zellweger in Bridget Jones's Diary.
Directors, of course, never have to undergo such torture. Or so it used to be, until Morgan
Spurlock had a bright idea for a film project.
The first clue to his particular misery comes in the title of his documentary, which has become the
darling of this year's Sundance Film Festival. It is called Super Size Me: A Film of Epic Portions
and it is a sometimes comic but serious look at America's addiction to fast food.
