Capital

DVD - 2014

"When the CEO of France's Phenix Bank collapses on the golf course, Machiavellian young executive Marc Tourneuil (Gad Elmaleh) is crowned as his replacement. A whirlwind of power struggles, greed and deception ensues as Tourneuil's ascent is jeopardized by a hostile takeover attempt from American hedge fund manager Dittmar Rigule (Gabriel Byrne), erotic distractions from international supermodel Nassim (Liya Kebede), and adversaries with an agenda for destruction"--Container.

Review by Library Journal Review

Having elevated agitprop to a lofty aesthetic level with Z and Missing, Costa-Gavras carries on his trademark method with the 2003 Cesar Award-winning Amen, a blunt but compelling portrait of collective indifference toward Jews under the Nazis, especially on the part of the Vatican. The recent and topical Capital follows the rise of the CEO of a French bank as a means to expose a global financial system that favors profits over principled business practice. For those who like strong points of view in their entertainment. (c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
