LEFT OVER – Intimate Politics
Original title: Doutes - Chronique du sentiment politique
A film by Yamini Lila Kumar
Two couples, Chris Bailey and Judith Lazard, along with Paul Adler and Albertine Langlois, meet for dinner on the 9th of July 2006, the night of the Football World Cup Final between France and Italy. Their conversations wander from intimate subjects to substantial political comments in such an intricate manner that their personal lives and their perception of the ideological struggle, the battle for the leadership of the french left, are more and more difficult to differenciate. For six years, their political attitudes evolve with the changing image of themselves and each other. Apartments, coffee shops, a theater dressing room and a psychanalist’s office serve as the backgrounds for the back and forth doing and undoings of their friendships, their relationships, their view on men and women and of course their confidence in the left wing. From the primary elections of the Parti Socialiste in 2007 to the presidential elections of 2012, the beliefs of the political scientist, the historian, the journalist and the comedian are put into question, up to the ultimate upset of their most fundamental drives.
