Chirac

2006 · 220 min Documentary History
8.5 / 10 · TMDB

Jacques Chirac stands as the opposition to President Mitterrand. The right's 1986 legislative victory makes him Prime Minister, launching two arduous years of cohabitation. The 1988 defeat brings despondency, but only briefly, before his political machine restarts. The Maastricht referendum reveals a leader willing to champion the "yes" against his own party's majority. The crushing 1993 victory paves the way, and by 1995, Chirac is elected President of the Republic, the culmination of thirty relentless years in the political arena.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a gripping political thriller, where each electoral cycle is a new battle chapter. Archival footage and interviews create an intimate look behind the scenes of history.

What lingers after viewing is a stark understanding of the personal cost of supreme ambition. The documentary masterfully balances the public figure with the relentless strategist. — MovieFinder Editorial
