see this

d and i just saw it and it was fantastic,and just a FASCINATING character study, of both men. from what i've read the historical details are a little iffy,the interviews definitely happened but some chronologies are shifted around a little to add drama etc. but frank langella's nixon is wonderful, very theatrical but best sense of theater. and not at all a caricature of the man. you come away with a real impression of nixon the man, how intelligent he was but also how manipulative and tricky, which i think is what does make it historically relevant even if the details aren't exactly...anyways, here's the trailer!
