    Presidents (French: Présidents) is a 2021 French political satire film written and directed by Anne Fontaine.[5] Although it was promoted with the disclaimer that "any resemblance to real persons is purely coincidental", the film stars Jean Dujardin and Grégory Gadebois in roles inspired by former French presidents Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande, respectively.[6] It was theatrically released in France on 30 June 2021.

    Production[edit]

    Aubazine Abbey, where some of the scenes of the film were shot.

    In August 2020, director Anne Fontaine revealed that she developed the idea for the screenplay during the first COVID-19 lockdown in France:

    The lockdown stimulated me into the idea of a different time. It was quite exhilarating to take advantage of a time not planned for writing and to create something unexpected. It's not representative of this period but I wanted something like a comedy, whether it's light, whether it's funny, something whimsical.[7]

    The project was described as a comedy about "[the] power and the difficulty of no longer being in charge [...] it is the meeting of two political adversaries who will live an adventure of sorts".[7]

    Presidents was produced by Philippe Carcassonne at Ciné@. The film was shot over a seven-week period in Corrèze and Paris, with Yves Angelo as director of photography.[5] Principal photography began on 5 October 2020,[8] and concluded in mid-November 2020.[9]

    Release[edit]

    The film was theatrically released by Universal Pictures International France on 30 June 2021.[10]
