So yes Presidents is totally hilarious if you know what you are looking at ie 2 former presidents one from the right one from the left deciding to combine their forces to defeat fascist Marine in the next election premised on the fact that the current incumbent is a dead duck ... a fair assessment most would agree
Dujardin here is meant to be Nicolas Sarkozy and "does him" to a tee; complete with body language hunched shoulders hand gestures; he must have viewed hundreds of hours to get it that good
The actor doing Hollande physically is very close to the original
This film can only be enjoyed by folks who have been following France's political life for the last 20 years at least; not too sure how it comes across in translation; but to a French speaker/citizen it is hilarious
So many clever touches studding this astute portrayal of the visible ex-rulers of Macronia
The ending is even funnier than the rest of the piece
The pace is slow here to mirror the Corrèze region it is filmed in ... the hinterland like Iowa or Yorkshire if that frames it better for you ... totally worth the trip for France-watchers.
