Being Jacques Chirac

Directed by Karl Zéro and Michel Royer

With Didier Gustin, Jacques Chirac, Tony Blair, George W. Bush and Jean-Marie Le Pen

Since 1967, Jacques Chirac has appeared everyday on television : millions of hours of automatic gestures, jerky speeches and feverish cavalcades. This mockumentary is based on archival footage and told at the first person (the voice of the French president is provided by imitator Didier Gustin). The main comic effect comes from the contradictions between the various speeches of the French President. The title comes from the title of the French-language version of Being John Malkovich.
