Vive la république (1997)
Directed by Eric Rochant
Comedy / Drama
aka: Long Live the Republic
Film Synopsis
Driven to virtual despair by their own economic circumstances, a mixed group of unemployed people decide to band together and form their own political party. This seemingly mad idea is proposed by Henri, a divorced father who is unable to find work, but it is readily supported by Victor and Emile, who are in a similar position. They are joined by Sabine, whose RMI earnings are a small compensation for her eight years at university, reformed drug addict Yannick, Solange, a one-time Communist, and several others. As the party grows, it becomes apparent that someone within it is acting to neutralise its effectiveness - but who?© James Travers
