The Tournées Festival

L’Ivresse du Pouvoir (Comedy of Power) (2006)
Inspired by a 1990s scandal in France's state-owned gas company, this film tells the story of Jeanne, a magistrate, who is preparing a complex embezzlement case for trial. As she unravels schemes of politicians and businessmen, she jeopardizes her private life as she gains power and ambition.

The Tournées Festival: New French Films on the CLU Campus was made possible with the support of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and the French Ministry of Culture (CNC).
