		Tapie has a choice of jails: in the district where he was convicted, or in the district where the appeals court sits.

		In February 1993, Crédit Lyonnais sold adidas to Robert Louis-Dreyfus, a friend of Bernard Tapie (and cousin of Julia Louis-Dreyfus from the Seinfeld TV series), for a much higher amount of money than what Tapie owed, 4.485 billion francs rather than 2.85 billion.

		Tapie then took on the realm of politics, becoming a minister in President Francois Mitterrand's cabinet, and the only member of the center-left Socialist party willing to openly debate extreme-right demagogue Jean-Marie Le Pen.
		Then, Tapie was accused of bribing opposing players to help throw a key match and his life came to a halt.
		Still, Zenovich was able to obtain a few illuminating interviews with figures around Tapie, including his son, several key journalists and filmmakers Claude Lelouch and Bob Swaim (who directed Tapie's appearance in a music video starring France's most popular rapper).

		Tapie would never speak to the camera, never sit still for an interview.
		Through much of the film, she seems like a flake herself, at one point even asserting that she is "not a stalker" - this, as she haunts his front door.
		Still, her interviews are riveting, the editing strong, and the subject intriguing - partly because, as one informant puts it, Bernard Tapie is the American dream in France.

	Variety.com - Reviews - Who Is Bernard Tapie?
		Documaker Marina Zenovich ("Independent's Day") resolved to rectify that situation and will succeed to an extent with this lively, engaging and very personal film that becomes as much about her own obsession with the man as it is a portrait of him.
		Considerable amusing footage is devoted to Zenovich calling Tapie's number from street pay phones and being put off by his secretary, and later to the persistent Yank, who speaks little French, sitting in a cafe opposite her subject's home waiting for him to emerge.
		A gratifyingly detailed impression of Tapie and his dazzling career is conveyed through docu and TV excerpts as well as with articulate assists from Lelouch and a bevy of journalists and writers (Zenovich's avoidance of any mention of his personal life, save for one passing shot of his wife, could be intriguingly psychoanalyzed).

		When the film was made, its co-star, Bernard Tapie, was at the heart of a storm of contraversy in France.
		The former head of Marseilles soccer team and previously holding a French government post, Tapie was rarely out of the limelight in the French media in the early and mid 1990s.
		And what a remarkable piece of casting it is. I cannot think of any actor who could have carried off the part half as well as Tapie, and the recent history of the man adds more than a tinge of spice and colour to the character.

		However Tapie reacted angrily to the 41-year-old's allegations, saying Cascarino had barely joined the club before the flamboyant former government minister was removed and sent to prison for fixing a league match days before the club won the 1993 European Cup.
		Cascarino wrote in his column that he received regular injections during his spell there and he suspected they were illegal substances.

		Your first response to the title of this hourlong documentary might well be, "Good question." But in Tapie’s native France, he is, as one commentator puts it, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and O.J. Simpson rolled into one, a charismatic, slippery businessman turned celebrity turned gangster hero.
		The story of an obsession that began when she saw Tapie in Claude Lelouch’s Men, Women: A User’s Manual, Zenovich’s author-intrusive documentary is as much about her as her ostensible subject — and her numerous unsuccessful attempts to get anywhere near him.
		At first, Zenovich’s presence is merely irritating; you can only have so much sympathy for her lack of success, considering that she professes to be ignorant of Tapie’s history before her first trip to France and, despite three years of pursuit, never manages to learn more than a few words of French.
