directed by: Michael Winterbottom, year: 2019
actors: Steve Coogan, Isla Fisher, David Mitchell

Greed is a sharp, satirical look at wealth, fame, and excess. It follows Richard McCreadie, a flamboyant fashion magnate who choreographs his image through glitzy parties, media stunts and calculated philanthropy. As his empire grows, the hollowness behind the gloss is exposed by friends, critics and rivals. Winterbottom’s brisk, irreverent comedy skewers wealth worship and celebrity culture, exposing the ugliness that money can disguise. Coogan anchors the performance with a gleefully egocentric vanity, while the film keeps a wry, modern tone.
