Presidents

Presidents (Présidents, 2021) is a French comedy by Anne Fontaine you can watch online on iFILM. Two former heads of state, both pushed out of power, plot an unlikely comeback.

Nicolas still craves the spotlight; his old rival François has fled politics for a quiet farm and his vegetable patch. So Nicolas shows up to drag him back. The two can't stand each other, which is exactly why their forced alliance works on screen. Jean Dujardin and Grégory Gadebois trade barbs with the timing of men who've shared a stage for years.

Fontaine plays it warm rather than savage — this is a film about men terrified of becoming irrelevant. Nods to real French political figures give it bite, but the chemistry between the leads carries everything. A good pick if you like French wit without the crude streak.
