*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I am not familiar with political features. LA CONQUETE was a real gem, very interesting about the rise of Nicolas Sarkozy - in 2007 - to power. It will remain a classic. This one I comment today is something different. Weird, very weird. But fascinating too. A strange but accurate study of the political backyards that the common people don't know about. The picture of every minute, every hour of a minister who have to struggle against his own government, friends, family, and many other things. Olivier Gourmet's performance is outstanding, and the pace of this non action film vivid at a point you couldn't imagine.
Look out for a car accident, in the middle of the film. A real brutal sequence that made me startle on my seat. And the audience too. I have never seen such a sequence, even in a James Bond film, or an action flick, even the best ones.
A strange film which deserves to be seen.
