La conquête de Clichy

A dry, fly-on-the-wall look at political operatives scheming, equal parts tedious and quietly revealing.

Directed by

Christophe Otzenberger

Overview

In Clichy, in the Paris region, the RPR is determined to take over a canton that has always been socialist, at any cost, in order to steal the mayor's office in the next municipal elections. We follow militants and leaders in their conquest, discover their weapons and words, their strategies and their doubts.
