Margin Call
A thriller that revolves around the key people at an investment bank over a 24-hour period during the early stages of the financial crisis.
Set in the high-stakes world of the financial industry, this is a thriller entangling the key players at an investment firm during one perilous 24-hour period in the early stages of the 2008 financial crisis. When entry-level analyst Peter Sullivan (Zachary Quinto) unlocks information that could prove to be the downfall of the firm, a roller-coaster ride ensues as decisions both financial and moral catapult the lives of all involved to the brink of disaster.
Expanding the parameters of genre, ‘Margin Call’ is a riveting examination of the human components of a subject too often relegated to partisan issues of black and white. Propelled by a stellar cast that includes Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons, Penn Badgley, Simon Baker, Mary McDonnell, Demi Moore and Stanley Tucci. Writer/director JC Chandor's enthralling first feature is a stark and bravely authentic portrayal of the financial industry and its denizens as they confront the decisions that shape our global future.
NB: We hope to welcome the distributors of the film Michal Cowan and Sean O'Kelly for a post screening Q&A
