The Candidats

1998

The film documents the presidential campaign of Xu Jiujing, chairman of the Vegetarian People's Party, in a mockumentary style. Xu Jiujing, who sports a white spot on his nose, finds himself driven by patriotic concern for his people despite his success in the vegetarian food industry. He resolves to run for President of the Republic of China. From his daily life to the minutiae of his campaign headquarters, his earnest desire to do good consistently backfires. Ultimately, scandal forces him to withdraw from the presidential race.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Candidats is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. 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 classic from 1998. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
