Trailer
Why watch the movie Alice and the Mayor?
"Although it has its roots in philosophy, 'Alice et le maire' is a movie for those who enjoy politics. After all, for more than 100 minutes, we follow Alice (Anaïs Demoustier), a young philosophy teacher who is hired by the mayor of Lyon to make him think. That's right. She must use her knowledge in philosophy, politics and society to challenge the mayor, who says he is already tired and out of ideas. Thus, we follow these two characters in clashes about democracy, positioning, sociology, ideological thoughts and other things that are necessary in public debate. Absolute highlight for the performances of Luchini and Demoustier, who know how to bring these conversations in the scenes convincingly, without becoming pedantic."
