The Ides of March (2011)
Country: US
Technical: col/2.35:1 101m
Director: George Clooney
Cast: Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Evan Rachel Wood, Marisa Tomei
Synopsis:
A political consultant for the Democratic presidential campaign is courted by the opposition but stands his ground. Meanwhile his boss, the Governor, refuses to compromise over a potentially lucrative running mate. The rules of politics and political journalism have devastating consequences for both.
Review:
Fascinating political chicanery in the tradition of Gore Vidal's The Best Man (qv.), with a smart script and unmeretricious performances. Hollywood film making does not get more 'public service' than this these days.
