MARIA DUARTE recommends a timely exposé of the insidious financial practice of buying and selling debts

Bank Job (PG)
Directed by Dan Edelstyn and Hilary Powell
HUSBAND-AND-WIFE film-making team Dan Edelstyn and Hilary Powell take a fun and irreverent look at the dark world of debt by launching their own currency and blowing up a million pounds-worth of high interest debt in this riveting, screwball documentary.
Not to be confused with Jason Statham’s The Bank Job, this film takes its inspiration from Michael Caine’s The Italian Job as it humorously shows how the banks and creditors don’t want people to pay off what they owe because, as one expert explains, “if you pay off your debt entirely you’re no longer a source of profit to creditors.”
