Primary Colors (1998) ***

A well-acted, expertly-written political comedy about Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. He's presented as an ambitious, womanizing and ruthless politician, who shamelessly uses his personal charm to seduce and manipulate everyone around him. But all those flaws only make him more endearing and sympathetic. The film is a jig-saw puzzle that rearranges the real people and actual events from the campaign, and dares us to identify them.
