États d'âme poster

In this political drama, five left-leaning friends gradually lose heart in the Socialist government elected in 1981 in France. One of the five men is a television broadcaster; the others are a teacher about to become an academic inspector, a tax man, the director of a cultural center, and a sociologist who is about to step into a ministerial position. Their interlocking lives are told in alternating vignettes over a four-year period, and the professions director Jacques Fansten has chosen for his main characters seem to be a comment on the media, education, budget or finance, the arts, and government bureaucracy under Socialist rule.

This film tells the unique story of the 2002 presidential elections, its candidates, and their teams. True to his desire to “film politics differently,” Serge Moati goes behind the scenes and deciphers the issues, gambles, and strategies of the main players for the viewer. Many dream of coming third, others want to become key figures in their camp so they can look to the future with confidence, two believe they will make it to the second round, while the French people's questions punctuate it all, between passion and indifference.
