Flagstaff Premiere:
The President’s Wife
Sedona Film Festival partners with Theatrikos Theatre Company for
Movies in Flagstaff with ‘The President’s Wife’ on Wednesday, May 21
The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to partner with Theatrikos Theatre Company to bring movies to Downtown Flagstaff!
This series continues on Wednesday, May 21 with the Flagstaff premiere of “The President’s Wife” at 7:00 p.m. at Theatrikos Theatre Company.
Long the woman-behind-the-man, Bernadette Chirac (Catherine Deneuve) arrives at France’s presidential Elysée Palace in 1995 frustrated, and all but cast off by her newly elected husband, Jacques (Michel Vuillermoz).
Having worked in his shadow during his ascent to the presidency, Madame Chirac now expects to finally get the place in the political elite she believes she deserves.
In Léa Domenach’s whip-smart feature film debut based on true events, Madame Chirac’s rise from invisible political spouse to major media figure — as calculated as it was inevitable — is chronicled with equal parts reverence and wit, driven by Deneuve’s wryly memorable central performance.
“The President’s Wife” will show at Theatrikos Theatre Company on Wednesday, May 21 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 general admission and $9 for Film Festival members.
