Les Fauves covers 15 years of hostility between Nicolas Sarkozy and Dominique de Villepin, from the 1995 presidential elections to the present day. Much of the French political right’s history can be expressed in the no-holds-barred battle between these two party siblings, who are simply incarnating the sequel to Chirac vs. Balladur. In this fight-to-the-political-death, senselessness and zeal trump all.
