Content:
Ein Dokumentarfilm, der über mehrere Monate hinweg die "Drahtzieher" der Präsidentschaftskampagne Bill Clintons bei ihrer Arbeit begleitet. Im (titelgebenden) Hauptquartier des Teams entstehen Strategien, werden Angriffe der Konkurrenten gekontert und Pressevertreter mit angeblichen Schwächen der Gegner "gefüttert" - der zielstrebige Aufbau einer Medienpersönlichkeit. Die Dokumentation wird dadurch spannend, daß sie jeglichen Kommentar, jede eindeutige Stellungnahme vermeidet und sich mit einem teilweise entlarvenden und recht komischen Blick hinter die Kulissen "begnügt". Ein ebenso aufschlußreiches wie unterhaltsames Zeugnis der Zeitgeschichte. (TV-Titel auch: "Die Kommandozentrale") - Ab 14 möglich. (Lexikon des internationalen Films)
Content:
The 1992 presidential election was a triumph not only for Bill Clinton but also for the new breed of strategists who guided him to the White House̶and changed the face of politics in the process. For this thrilling, behind-closed-doors account of that campaign, renowned cinema verité filmmakers Chris Hegedus and D. A. Pennebaker captured the brainstorming and bull sessions of Clinton̷s crack team of consultants̶especially James Carville and George Stephanopoulos, who became media stars in their own right as they injected a savvy, youthful spirit and spontaneity into the process of campaigning. Fleet-footed and entertaining, The War Room is a vivid document of a political moment whose truths ("It's the economy, stupid!") still ring in our ears. (Coveretext) Extras:New, restored high-definition digital transfer, approved by directors Chris Hegedus and D. A.
