Greed (15)
Directed by Michael Winterbottom
THE never-ending greed of capitalism, the rise of free market Thatcherism and globalisation come under the spotlight in Michael Winterbottom’s latest film – a bold and brash satire which takes a long hard look at the disparity between rich and poor and makes us question our fashion and shopping choices.
It stars Steve Coogan as disgraced self-made British billionaire Sir Richard “Greedy” McCreadie, the head of a crumbling retail empire, who is about to throw himself a lavish and decadent Gladiator themed party in Greece to celebrate his 60th birthday and save his reputation.
