Shortly before the presidential election in a European state, Michel Dedieu stepped in at the last minute to replace his party's candidate, who was forced to withdraw due to a rapidly spreading cancer.

Unpopular with the media and the public, he must improve his image and refine his arguments at all costs.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Candidate is an acquired taste at 5.4/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A 2007 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
