The French Minister (Original title: Quai d'Orsay)
2013 Comedy 1h 53m
Directed by Bertrand Tavernier
A young speechwriter working in the French Foreign Ministry learns the impure nature of the political world. Based on Quai d'Orsay, a comic strip by Christophe Blain and Abel Lanzac, the film takes an initially comedic look at the French Foreign Ministry under Dominique de Villepin but moves into more serious territory as France, in co-operation with Germany, opposes the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.
In French with English subtitles. Free admission, Suggested donation $5.
