Politics. It’s all about ethics. Or maybe morals. Or maybe it’s all just a popularity contest.
Alexander Payne directs one of the finest political satires of modern times, ELECTION. A box office disaster upon its 1999 release, the Oscar-nominated film has gone on to become an endlessly quotable cult classic that is still provocative almost 25 years later. Matthew Broderick stars as high school teacher Jim McAllister. Having not quite lost his passion for teaching, the unopposed campaign of over-achieving student Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon) to become Class President causes McAllister to intervene. Recruiting a popular jock (Chris Klein) to run against Tracy for the greater good of the democratic process, what should have been a valuable learning experience spirals out of control in unforeseeable ways.
