The War Room description
Documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker (Don't Look Back) and Chris Hegedus shot behind-the-scenes at command central for Bill Clinton's 1992 election campaign and came up with this film. You won't find the kind of daily damage-control and skirt-chasing indirectly alleged in Primary Colors, but the filmmakers do give us a strong sense of the uphill battle of a presidential campaign. The center of the film is really James Carville, who steered the machine for Clinton's '92 run and who comes across in this film as a deeply passionate, complex, and somehow timeless man who could have fit into any chapter of American history. --Tom Keogh |

Inside the Clinton war machine
|
| In the middle of the 2008 race for the White House, the War Room provides great insight to the inner workings of not just a modern campaign, but into the first Clinton campaign. In many ways this campaign changed the way politics was conducted as much as Karl Rove would eight years later. What makes the movie great is the access to the most inner workings of the Clinton machine, giving not just a fly on the wall view, but a very human one. Perhaps the main weakness, is that no graphics or numerical information is given - surely the hallmark of modern politics. Also it could have broadened a bit to show debates and other such footage. Still, well worth watching. Who knows, a sequel coming soon? |
