Acclaimed French filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier has taken audiences everywhere, from the world of American jazz (“Round Midnight“) to the drama of the 16th century (“The Princess Of Montpensier“), and his latest finds a new world, behind the closed doors of the political sphere, and in the comedic “The French Minister,” no one is spared.
Starring Thierry Lhermitte, Raphaël Personnaz, Niels Arestrup, Bruno Raffaelli, Julie Gayet and Anaïs Demoustier, the film tells the story of the fictional Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexandre Taillard de Vorms, who juggles American neo-cons, corrupt Russians and the opportunistic Chinese all while his useless speech writer tries to keep up with the whirling dervish of personalities around him. In this exclusive clip, we see how things can turn on a dime in the political world.
“The French Minister” opens today in limited release and is available on VOD. Watch below.
