"La vie publique et privée de l?une des figures les plus puissantes, les plus controversées et les plus énigmatiques du 20e siècle, J. Edgar Hoover. Incarnation du maintien de la loi en Amérique pendant près de cinquante ans, J. Edgar Hoover était à la fois craint et admiré, honni et révéré. Mais, derrière les portes fermées, il cachait des secrets qui auraient pu ruiner son image, sa carrière et sa vie?"
"Nominato capo dell'FBI dal Presidente Calvin Coolidge, J. Edgar Hoover è un giovane uomo ambizioso nell'America proibizionista. Figlio di un padre debole e di una madre autoritaria, Edgar è ossessionato dalla sicurezza del Paese e dai criminali che la minacciano a suon di bombe e volantini. Avviata una lotta senza esclusione di colpi contro bolscevichi, radicali, gangster e delinquenti di ogni risma, il direttore federale attraversa la storia americana costruendosi una reputazione irreprensibile e inattaccabile. A farne le spese sono i suoi nemici, reali o supposti, tutti ugualmente ricattabili dai dossier confidenziali raccolti, archiviati e custoditi da Helen Gandy, fedele segretaria che rifiutò il suo corteggiamento e ne sposò la causa."
"J. Edgar Hoover war für fast 50 Jahre Chef des Federal Bureau of Investigation. Er wurde gefürchtet, bewundert, geächtet und verehrt, er war ein Mann, der die Wahrheit genauso leichtfertig verbog, wie er unablässig für sie kämpfte. Seine Methoden waren ebenso heroisch wie skrupellos, und all das diente nur dem einen Ziel, das er nie erreichte: er wollte von der Welt bewundert werden. Sorgfältig verbarg er sein Privatleben und all das, was sein Image, seine Karriere und sein Leben hätte zerstören können. (DVD-Hülle)."

"Presenta la biografía de J. Edgar Hoover quien dirigió el FBI durante casi 50 años. Se pone especial énfasis en los aspectos más oscuros del personaje."
"Leonardo DiCaprio (Origine, Le diamant de sang) incarne J. Edgar Hoover, qui fut à la tête du FBI pendant près de 50 ans. Hoover était autant craint qu'admiré, détesté que vénéré; un homme qui pouvait déformer la vérité autant qu'il la tenait en haute estime. Ses méthodes étaient aussi impitoyables que nobles, et l'admiration du monde constituait sa plus grande fierté. Cependant, dans l'intimité, il gardait jalousement des secrets qui auraient ruiné son image, sa carrière et sa vie. Le lauréat des Oscar Clint Eastwood (Impardonnable, La Fille à un million de dollars) dirige une distribution éblouissante comprenant Naomi Watts (21 grammes), Armie Hammer (Le Réseau social) et la lauréate des Oscar Judi Dench (Shakespeare et Juliette) dans le rôle de la mère surprotectrice de Hoover. --Conteneur."
