Mais im Bundeshuus

About This Movie

Mais im Bundeshuus captures the intricate dance of Swiss politics, particularly the debate surrounding GMOs. Jean-Stéphane Bron’s approach feels almost voyeuristic; it’s like peering through a keyhole into a world of legislative maneuvering. The pacing is steady, allowing tension to build as the committee deliberates. The film’s atmosphere is charged with quiet intensity, punctuated by moments of levity that break the seriousness of policy-making. You get to see the practical effects of political strategies in action, with real people grappling with complex issues. It’s a unique look at the behind-the-scenes workings, a kind of political theater that feels both distant and immediate, making it a distinctive entry in the documentary genre.
