In The President’s Wife, Catherine Deneuve delivers a hilarious and sharp satirical performance as Bernadette Chirac, the poised-yet-overlooked wife of former French President Jacques Chirac. Set in 1995, the film sees Bernadette arrive at the Élysée with high expectations, only to be sidelined and ridiculed by the public for being out of touch and old-fashioned. Unfazed, she reinvents herself as a media-savvy icon, capturing the spotlight and defying the stereotypes of the First Lady.

The legendary Deneuve’s impeccable comedic timing and witty portrayal bring charm and depth to this clever exploration of power, perception, and reinvention. A delightful and insightful comedy that serves as a showcase for its star at her finest.

In 1970s New York, eager to step out from his father’s shadow and claim his place in Manhattan real estate, a young Donald Trump (Sebastian Stan) crosses paths with Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), the controversial political fixer who becomes both mentor and manipulator. Under Cohn’s tutelage, Trump learns to wield deception, intimidation and media savvy to build his empire – and be willing to do whatever it takes to win.

Directed by Ali Abbasi (Border, Holy Spider), The Apprentice offers a gripping look at the mentor-protégé relationship that would ultimately change the world. With a riveting, award-worthy performance from Stan (also brilliant this season in A Different Man) as Trump, this is a searing exploration of the underbelly of an American empire.

Nominated for 2 Oscars in 2025, for Best Actor (Stan) and Best Supporting Actor (Strong).
