Overview

Monsieur Khalil is a Lebanese political mockumentary that trails a smooth-talking parliamentary candidate through a single day on the campaign trail. With cameras rolling as part of his carefully managed public image operation, the charismatic Khalil slowly reveals his true character to the audience — a portrait that grows increasingly unflattering as the hours pass. Sharp, funny, and pointedly observed, the film skewers the performative theatrics of Lebanese electoral politics through the unforgiving lens of a fictional documentary crew.
