The Minister (2011)
Director: Pierre Schöller
Country: France | Belgium
Runtime: 1 hour 52 minutes
French Minister for Transport Bertrand Saint-Jean is woken in the middle of the night by his personal private secretary: a bus has crashed into a ravine, initiating a dark odyssey through a treacherous world for the State official. In staging one man's effort to occupy the complex spaces of power – between conviction and compromise; command and obedience – Schöller invites us to reflect on one of Michel Foucault's preoccupations: the minister – a figure half-way between state administrator and religious pastor.
