Lawfare : le cas Mélenchon Trailers

All over the world, neo-liberal or fascist governments are using justice to dismiss or damage the image of their political opponents. On October 16, 2018, an unprecedented operation targeted Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his family: 15 searches were carried out simultaneously by a hundred prosecutors and police directly under the orders of the Ministry of Justice. Unheard of in France. The prosecutor who orchestrated this operation, François Molins, close to President Emmanuel Macron, was rewarded less than a month later by being appointed to the highest office of the judiciary. This film carefully documents the facts that make this case an emblematic case of lawfare.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
