Music Box Films will release in the US, the French film THE CONQUEST, directed by Xavier Durringer, a political drama about the political ascendency of the current French president Nicolas Sarkozy. Based entirely on public documents and first person accounts, THE CONQUEST is the story of seemingly unstoppable ambition, riddled with backstage maneuverings, fits of anger and vicious confrontations with political rivals and loved ones alike. In short, the story of a man who gains the highest office at the price of his greatest love.
Music Box Films is currently planning an aggressive US theatrical release of THE CONQUEST to precede the upcoming American presidential primary season.
