The film missed N. Sarkozy The Last Summer is the title of a TV movie of Switzerland Claude Goretta, released in 1997 F3. Not very interesting so far except that Jacques Villeret played Georges Mandel, a pre-war politician, right, who was murdered by the militia in 1944 in the forest of Fontainebleau. Also note the presence charming, always charming indeed, Catherine Frot. And the film is based on a book ... Nicolas Sarkozy.
G. Mandel was the interior minister of the cabinet Reynaud, who has been replaced by Dr. Petain and the French state. He was a notorious "warmonger" in a firm plagued by defeatists (Pétain himself, Weygand, Baudoin, Chautemps ...), which, initially, was preferable to Gaulle, known unknown, by Churchill. In the film, he has seen everything, including Hitler goes after the militarization of the Rhineland (1936), bound to attack France at one time or another.
Already, when you see a photo of G. Mandel, it is far from a resemblance to the actor. G. Mandel, by his contemporaries is described as an energetic but here we have a Villeret clumsy, slow and heavy, which does not inspire greatness and eventually lose interest. The film is totally missing the point of view of the action: lack of resources or lack of characters, the scenes in private or small field to follow. It's like a mental movie. The scene of the enthronement of the new government leader Leon Blum in the House of Deputies, contradicted by Mandel, is of extreme poverty: the camera shoots only a few characters scattered or Blum and Mandel speaking, without rhythm, without heat, nothing. They are ready to sleep or start a game of cards silent. The film could take place at any other time, too. Like what, the TV allows sacred void of a career. It's a shame for the figure of Mandel deserves better, much better than the tribute misleading N. Sarkozy (in What Fouquest-Sarkozy's like him there?) or this movie boring.
