Alice et le maire (2019)

Alice et le maire: Directed by Nicolas Pariser. With Fabrice Luchini, Anaïs Demoustier, Nora Hamzawi, Léonie Simaga. The mayor of Lyon is in existential crisis. After 30 years in politics, he feels totally empty and devoid of ideas. As a fix for this problem, his aides bring a brilliant young philosopher, into his inner circle.

“Iu0026#39;ve enjoyed Fabrice Lucchini in a lot of movies, which is why I went to see this one. He does his usual fine job of creating a character. But the story didnu0026#39;t much interest me, and most of the rest of the characters were very formulaic. The speech the the mayor and his female assistant near the end of the movie was enthralling – a u0026quot;why canu0026#39;t we have that sort of candidateu0026quot; moment – but I donu0026#39;t know that it justified sitting through the rest of the movie.”
