The Last Mitterand November 6, 2005

The Last Mitterand gives an intimate, compelling portrait of the late French Socialist President.
Masterful French director, Robert Guédiguian, follows the last few months of Francois Mitterand (Michel Bouquet) as he recalls his life?s career for his memoirs with a young journalist, Antoine Moreau (Jalil Lespart). Based on Georges-Marc Benamou?s novel, Le dernier Mitterand, Guédiguian?s film reveals Mitterand?s isolation in space and time, giving the audience both a sense of his historic significance and personal loneliness confronting death.
