Second Tour, the new comedy-drama by and starring Albert Dupontel: review and trailer

After Adieu les cons , Second Tour , the new comedy directed by Albert Dupontel , is coming to theaters. With a cast including Cécile de France and Nicolas Marié , the film is scheduled for national release on October 25.

Second Tour trailer

The plot revolves around Mlle Pove, a political journalist relegated to the soccer beat following a professional setback. Against all odds, she finds herself covering the presidential campaign between the two rounds. The favorite candidate, Pierre-Henry Mercier , is much more than a political novice; he is the heir to an influential French family.

Yet behind the candidate's smooth mask lies a face Miss Pove has seen before. Intrigued and determined to find out more about the real Pierre-Henry Mercier , she embarks on an investigation that is both revealing and hilarious.

And with this new opus, Albert Dupontel continues the melancholy atmosphere of Adieu les Cons , winner of the César for Best Film 2021. Second Tour never reaches the subtlety and mastery of the latter, but remains a lovely film, touching and funny, with immense visual ambition. The film is, in fact, on the bangs of the usual French production. This makes it a film not to be missed, but its sometimes disjointed and far-fetched aspect could lose you. Nevertheless, the film's political message is powerful.

A ntisystème, anti-élite, renvoyant gauche et droite dos à dos dans ses rares prises de paroles publiques, Albert Dupontel ne s’était jamais risqué à la satire politique. Le cinéaste de 59 ans a beau n’avoir, dit-il, jamais voté, ses films laissaient percevoir une vision assez sombre de la bureaucratie française, grande machine à corrompre et à broyer les âmes pures et les attardés mentaux.

La perplexité du citoyen Dupontel face à l’incurie des gouvernements successifs pour juguler la crise écologique, associée à la découverte, en plein confinement, d’un documentaire sur la campagne de Robert Kennedy, en 1968, et sa terrible interruption (Bobby Kennedy for President, visible sur Netflix),

Journaliste politique, Nathalie Pove est peu à peu mise à l'écart par la chaîne de télévision qui l'emploie et finit par être mutée à la rubrique football du service des sports, tout comme Gus, le caméraman qui la suit depuis des années. Alors que l'élection présidentielle approche, la jeune femme se voit offrir une opportunité en or de prouver qu'elle mérite de reprendre son ancien poste. En effet, Pierre-Henry Mercier, un des favoris du scrutin, échappe de peu à un attentat qui fait la une de la presse. Nathalie, qui connaît personnellement ce candidat intrigant, se voit chargée d'enquêter sur lui...

WALDEN CULT OF LOVE

Spring 2025, purpose (special event) lunar eclipse, announcing our 46th season.

JUST ANNOUNCED!  Fresh off the Tony Award-winning  Appropriate  comes  a new play from Branden Jacobs-Jenkins.   Purpose — directed by the legendary Phylicia Rashad  — will be coming to the Hayes Theater. 

Also on stage this season, is Walden by O’Neill finalist Amy Berryman, Cult of Love   by Emmy Award® nominee  Leslye Headland  ( Bachelorette , “Star Wars: The Acolyte”) and  Lunar Eclipse  from Pulitzer Prize winner  Donald Margulies  ( Dinner with Friends, Collected Stories. )

“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.” — Henry David Thoreau

Theatrical rising star and O’Neill finalist Amy Berryman brings us an “intelligent, soulful drama” ( The Guardian ) about how vast the space can be between two people.

In the near future, Stella and her fiancé, Bryan, are waiting at their remote cabin for Stella’s estranged twin sister, Cassie. Raised by their astronaut father to be NASA scientists, the twins have taken different paths: Cassie has just returned from a successful moon mission, while Stella has left NASA behind. When they reunite, old conflicts reignite, forcing the sisters to choose between staying on Earth or pursuing a future in space, as humanity’s fate hangs in the balance.

Directed by Tony Award®️ nominee Whitney White ( Jaja's African Hair Braiding ), Walden is a thrilling and engrossing new play that wrestles between the gravitational pulls of duty and desire.  

It’s the holiday season for the Dahl family! The four adult children return to their childhood home with partners in tow. The Dahl traditions include singing carols in harmony at the drop of a hat, but the gathering is anything but harmonious. Old conflicts resurface, new issues battled, and dinner is taking absolutely forever to be served. Will the love the Dahls have for each other be enough to get them through, or will this be their last Christmas together? 

Emmy® Award nominee Leslye Headland ( Bachelorette , “Star Wars: The Acolyte,”) has written an equally heartwarming and heartbreaking new play about the things that bind families together... or tear them apart.  

“Maybe forgetting yourself once in a while is a good thing.”

From Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Donald Margulies ( Dinner with Friends, Collected Stories ) comes a stirring new play about the fragility of memory and the passage of time.

Late on a summer night, in a field on their Kentucky farm, a long-married couple, George and Em, have come to watch a lunar eclipse. As the seven stages of the celestial phenomenon unfold, the two sip bourbon and reflect on land and legacy, children and dogs. But as more and more is revealed, they realize they are as much a mystery to each other as the heavens above. Lunar Eclipse is a funny, moving, universal story of a couple reckoning with the time they’ve spent on earth and the time they have left.
