Doors slam and papers fly in this off-the-wall comedy about French politics directed by master filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier (The Princess of Montpensier). Tavernier's blistering assault - based on the award-winning graphic novel by Abel Lanzac, a former government speech writer - zeroes in on fictional Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexandre Taillard de Vorms (a tour-de-force comic performance by Thierry Lhermitte). A human whirlwind and a man confident in France's importance on the world stage, de Vorms takes on American neo-cons, corrupt Russians and the opportunistic Chinese while his hapless speech writer (Raphael Personnaz) endures the eccentricities of his megalomaniacal boss and his sycophantic entourage. In the vein of recent political comedies such as In the Loop, The French Minister is a hilarious send-up of diplomacy and international politics with rapid-fire dialogue and a brilliant ensemble cast.

I must warn you that watching this movie once is not enough. It’s the same as with the Yes, Minister series. It’s not easy to listen to all these politics talks and you must fortify yourself mentally for it, otherwise all those lines full of catchphrases will fly right over your head and you’ll feel so confused in result that you will give this movie as bad ratings as the users StarsFan or xxmartinxx did on this site. I was ready for some political satire but I still wasn’t prepared for what I got. I guess I didn’t choose the right moment to play this, which this movie would have deserved. Thierry Lhermitte was relishing his role of a politician, I have nothing to complain about here. What was worse was that even though sometimes I was laughing, at other times I was just confused. But I think that if I watch it once more I will understand more. So I’m rating this with three stars after first watching.
