Dirty Hedge Fund Dealings Premier At Sundance

Posted at January 23, 2012

Sundance 12 kicked off over the weekend with the new hedge fund movie Arbitrage playing on day 3 of the festival.

The movie depicts a hedge fund magnate under investigation, desperate to complete the sale of his trading empire to a major bank before his double-dealings are revealed.

Vulture reports:

“An ultra-rich hedge fund magnate (Richard Gere) is trying desperately to cover up some financial misdeeds … and then boom: He accidentally kills his mistress in a car crash. Now he’s got to cover that up, too, and all the while, his wife (Susan Sarandon), daughter (Brit Marling), and a relentless detective (Tim Roth) are closing in on the truth.”

The film is written and directed by Nicholas Jarecki and produced by Infinity Media. The New York Post’s Lou Lumenick called Gere’s performance the best of his career.

    The film looks pretty good but it does sound fairly similar to Wall Street etc. I think there is a limit to what they can do with these films to make them of interest to a wider public.
