Michael Burry, Mark Baum, Jared Vennett and Ben Rickert: visionary and unusual characters who will bet against the banks… and try to win the bet !
Number 4 – Margin Call
A film that shows the background of one of the biggest financial crises that the West has ever experienced, impacting in turn the biggest nations in the world as well as the smallest: the subprime crisis.
Synopsis: Eric Dale, a trader in a large New York investment bank, is fired. As he prepares to leave, he gives his supervisor, Peter Sullivan, a USB key containing the file he was working on, with the advice to be careful. Sullivan, while reading Dale’s notes, discovers that the bank’s assets include a mass of financial products capable of bankrupting it. A race against time begins to save the company.
Number 3 – L’outsider
Come aboard this financial thriller and discover the underbelly of market finance.
Synopsis: Jérôme Kerviel joined Société Générale in 2000. He works in the middle office, in the traders’ department. He quickly joins the mythical « trading room ». He becomes the assistant to Fabien Keller’s desk, who turns him into a trader and teaches him about stock market speculation and hiding his profits. Kerviel is going to play the game and risk a little more every day, without ever worrying his superiors.
Number 2 - American Psycho
How to rise very high in society and become the symbol of the neurosis of the American Dream? The brilliant Christian Bale gives us a beautiful lesson in macabre success, with bloodshed, sadism and perversity.
Synopsis: In the heart of the Reagan years, Patrick Bateman is a pure product of American success. Young, rich, he is one of those golden boys who triumph on the stock market. Only the best is good enough for him, and he strives to find only those symbols that give him an image of success. He accumulates, with a sick obsession, the select clothes, the enviable relationships. His dearest wish is to blend in with this crowd, to find his place among those he identifies with.
Number 1 - The Wolf of Wall Street
Drugs, money, women, success, DiCaprio at his best in this comedy-drama that stages the vices of American success.
Synopsis: With his broker’s license in hand and his nostrils already full of cocaine, Jordan Belfort is ready to conquer Wall Street. That October day, a crash, the biggest since 1929, tramples his dreams of greatness. It was finally in Long Island that he failed and set up his own brokerage business. His niche: the off-market. His method: scamming. His team: salesmen or small-time dealers.
