I heard about this film which is currently at the Berlinade.

"If the film does not deal directly with the Elf file, the attentive spectator will enjoy a few winks at this resounding politico-judicial affair. In The Intoxication of Power, the investigating judge is called Jeanne Charmant ( name which inevitably recalls that of Eva Joly, in charge of the Elf file), and the boss under investigation is interpreted by François Berléand, actor with a gray beard, whose features singularly recall those of the ex-CEO of the oil group Loik Le Floch Prigent (both of them are affected by a skin disease). Let us add that the filmmaker entrusted the role of a politician involved in this affair to ... Roger Dumas (Roland Dumas is not far ...). Similarly, the character that Philippe Duclos embodies has the patronym Holéo, a term which evokes the sector of activity of the Elf company. "

It comes out the same day as Syriana ... another blow of the "big plot" against the oil tankers!
