This awesome TV movie is destined to audiences interested in political matters, such as L'EXERCICE DE L'ETAT, back in 2011, as very realistic script for a total believable story, that describes in detail how awful, trash things can happen "backstage" , behind the scene for politicians...A famous politician is accused to have been involved with torture matter during war in Algeria. Is it true or not, is it a plot against him? It is interesting but if you watch very closely, you may feel stunned but glued to it. There were many movies telling the same atmosphere of political jungle, swimming with sharks. Pierre Arditi gives an early very convincing performance. Not for all audiences, only elite andd intellectual ones. For once. I hope it was appreciated when it was aired, nearly forty years ago.
