Based on Georges-Marc Benamou's controversial book and shot without frills, The Last Mitterrand focusses on the final year of the socialist politician's life and is narrated by a young left-wing journalist Antoine (Jalil Lespert), who's been hired to write the man's memoirs.; ; The dialogue-heavy The Last Mitterrand does assume a certain degree of knowledge of 20th-century French politics on the part of the viewer, alluding to such figures as police chiefs Rene Bosquet and Maurice Papon, both of whom were instrumental in deporting French Jews to the Nazi concentration camps.
