Le Promeneur du Champ de Mars

The Last Mitterrand (French title: Le Promeneur du Champ de Mars, literally The Walker on the Champ de Mars) is a 2005 film directed by Robert Guédiguian depicting the final period in the life of an unnamed French President (but the English title and the French title of the book upon which the film is based suggests the president is François Mitterrand). The film is based on the book Le Dernier Mitterrand (literally, "the last Mitterrand") by Georges-Marc Benamou. The film "recreates in semi-fictional form the relationship between the young journalist, here called Antoine Moreau, and the dying president... [who] draws Antoine into the world of his fears, and his sense of French culture".
