Translations aside, political buffoonery carries well across cultures.

In this film the title character never appears.

The French Minister (2014)

But a bunch of familiar French stars do and a delightful comedy ensues.

I had forgotten that it starred, among others, Neils Arestrup. Who I have seen being evil, innocent, guileful and, as of today, enormously funny.

It is difficult to find something wrong with this so I will admit that it is about fifteen minutes too long. But then it is French. Cut some slack.
