Georges Pompidou: The Cruelty of Power (2024)

あらすじ English

On April 2, 2024, France will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of Georges Pompidou, the second president of the Fifth Republic, whose term of office was cut short by his death in 1974. This documentary recalls the mark and republican destiny of this grandson of peasants and son of primary school teachers, who ushered France into a conquering and unprecedented modernity, bringing many industrial, scientific and cultural advances. Unlike all those who have held supreme office since 1958, Pompidou did not passionately seek power. From one stage to the next, responsibilities seem to have imposed themselves on him, as if he were obeying a destiny.
