The French Minister
Bertrand Taverniers bracing new film The French Minister (also known as Quai dOrsay) is a screwball comedy set in the heart of French political life. Its central character is the incorrigible, indefatigable and utterly self-absorbed Foreign Minister (a bravura turn from Thierry LHermitte). He hires a hapless young man called Arthur (Raphael Personnaz), an anxious academic, to be his speechwriter, and we follow Arthurs initiation into the jargon, eccentricities, rituals and realities of foreign affairs.
