Alice et le Maire plot

The mayor of Lyon, Paul Théraneau, is in a difficult position. He entered politics 30 years ago, but today he feels an existential void in his life and struggles to come up with good, fresh ideas. He then calls in the brilliant philosopher Alice Heimann with whom he has many dialogues. Their visions and clashing personalities are going to turn their lives and everything they believe in upside down.

The elections are just around the corner for the mayor of Paris Paul Théneneau [Fabrice Luchini], but he is at a dead end. Alice Heimann [Anaïs Demoustier] is a literature teacher with an above-average knowledge of philosophy who is supposed to help Paul by coming up with "ideas", although she has no political experience. Alice is not sure what is being asked of her and Paul's staff members Isabelle [Léonie Samaga] and Daniel [Antoinie Reinartz] also do not understand what Paul is doing. Certainly not as predictable as you think and Demoustier and Luchini perfectly balance drama and comedy. They still exist, good movies.

Mediocre film about a young woman who starts working as a civil servant in the city of Lyon. It typically starts with the cliché that the post was created to replace another post that was deleted. However, no one is fully aware of the exact job content of the new position.

She has to assist the inaccessible mayor. The man is uninspired and she has to feed him with new ideas and insights, and if possible give him a new vibe so that he can put himself forward as a French presidential candidate.

Quite interesting up to there, but then it collapses completely with uninteresting passages about pointless projects like Lyon 2500 or that friend-activist, many boring meetings and useless scenes. Shame.
