The Supper
Le Souper
1992 · Film · 90 min
Directed by Édouard Molinaro
France, 1815. After his defeat at Waterloo, Napoleon heads for exile. Royalists occupy Paris and attempt to restore the monarchy. However, the battle doesn't seem to be over. On July 6, Talleyrand, a shrewd politician of flexible convictions, invites chief of police and zealous revolutionary Fouché to supper and tries to convince him to serve the king. Over the meal they insult each other, accuse each other, and, at first sight, look like mortal enemies. But they definitely have one thing in common: they are both power-hungry.

And in term of movies: Ridicule and Le Souper are two [french] films that will teach you politics and social interactions MUCH BETTER than any history book.
[The second one needs a bit of Wikipedia to understand the background of the two characters, and why they have to talk to each other]
