movie review - Primary Colours

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Sydney, 2000.02.15

Primary Colours is a supposedly fictional account of a American Presidential candidate who bears an uncanny resemblance to Bill Clinton, both physically, politically, and in his philandering & crookedness. It documents the tale from the point of view of the young black man who is hired to be Travolta's campaign manager, and it follows all of the ins and outs of what it takes to become the most powerful man on earth. It's done rather well, without being too in-your-face as it does its sending up.

Recommended.
