A French movies website has asked our 10 candidates their top 5 movies, their take on Hadopi (a bill against downloading) and their program concerning culture
The film choices are interesting. Some of them might be genuine, others probably belong to political calculation regarding to what their voters like, what the candidates themselves are supposed to like (and in some case it's an opportunity to shatter an image), or what they would like the citizens to think they enjoy!
Some of you may remember that in 2007 I decided to post and parse the candidates' official campaign poster. I won't do that for this election, but I think that the top 5 movies list is interesting to study.
Their picks and my analysis, under the cut.
