Édouard, mon pote de droite : Le Havre

2016 · 83 min

A quiet, observant campaign diary that finds human texture in handshakes, strategy meetings and the odd friction of friendship across a political divide. It is calm, talky and gently revealing rather than dramatic.

Overview
A director follows his right-wing friend during his reelection campaign for Le Havre's mayorship.
