Let's Talk about Money

Shimmering gold bars, crackling bills, stock market prices like heartbeats or outrageously expensive works of art: The power of money is fascinating. Money is also important in everyday life and, as the global financial crisis has shown, can have devastating consequences on several million people at once. It's not surprising that filmmakers from all over the world are inspired by this topic; after all, some real financial scandals provide the best material for a film.
