Primary Colors

Mike Nichols took a whack at an thinly-veiled Clinton pastiche. It follows an idealistic young staffer who joins the campaign of a charismatic Southern governor with presidential aspirations. The staffer then witnesses firsthand the compromises and moral ambiguities of big-league politics. It's a surprisingly star-studded affair, if you're into that sort of thing.
