The Last Mitterand at the Castro (SFIFF), 4/24/05
Man, this movie was no fun. It's about a journalist who is hired by Francois Mitterand to write his memoirs as he leaves office. He spends very little time on politics and instead we get bogged down in Mitterand's uncertain involvement with the Resistance. Also, he seems to be played as a wacky old man which just seems sort of jarring. The ending seems so "feel good", I wondered if Americans had made this movie. It's too bad because Michel Bouquet does an amazing impression of the man.
