Synopsis

When she arrived at the Elysée Palace, Bernadette Chirac expected to finally get the place she deserved, she who had always worked in the shadow of her husband to make him president. Put aside because she was considered too old-fashioned, Bernadette decided to take her revenge by becoming a major media figure.

Community Reviews

The film 'Bernadette' has garnered a mix of reactions, predominantly positive, with viewers praising Catherine Deneuve's performance and the film's humorous yet insightful portrayal of Bernadette Chirac's transformation into a media figure. While the film is appreciated for its blend of comedy and drama, some viewers found certain aspects, like pacing and character depth, lacking. Overall, it resonates well with those familiar with French political history, offering a refreshing take on a well-known public figure.

👍 Catherine Deneuve's performance is a standout.

👎 May confuse those unfamiliar with French politics.
