POLL 84: FILMS ABOUT POLITICIANS

My poll 84 is inspired by THE GHOST WRITER (2010, Roman Polanski), which is about politics and politicians. I like this film very much because it reminds me that some politicians are just "representatives" of some greater power behind them. I also like the veteran soldier in this film very much. He is someone who suffers a lot, but no one is willing to listen to him. Then, one day, his suffering explodes.

THESE FILMS DEAL (PARTLY) WITH POLITICIANS. WHICH ONES DO YOU LIKE?

1.UN ABOLITIONNISTE (2001, Joël Calmettes, France)

8.DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT (ไม่มีอะไรให้ดู) (2006, Suchart Sawasdsri, Thailand)

9.UN HOMME D'HONNEUR (2009, Laurent Heynemann, France)

10.IL DIVO (2008, Paolo Sorrentino, Italy)
