Those skeletons come out when you run for office.
26 October 2008
Everybody has them in their closet. Most of us manage to hide them quite well. Those that run for public office are just asking for trouble these days especially.

Just ask John Kerry or Sarah Palin. Ask about swift boats or trooper-gate. Those things come out in the wash. Even the local politicians have things like unpaid taxes and questionable associations that are brought to light.

But, murder? is that unusual. Not really, as it came up in the Clinton campaign in the form of unproven accusations.

Here, in a French film that most American audiences would not watch, we have actual murders being alleged. Also some fooling around being hinted at, and associations with Nazis (that was also used with Bush in reference to George's grandfather).

The film is slow, but exciting. You are watch each character closely to see who is good and who is evil. But, it is not that easy, as those who appear very good, have some evil in their past.

The acting was superb and the story was very good. The direction was excellent as the story flowed at the right pace and headed in the right direction.

Worth your time if you like watching characters interact.
