At the age of 80, Academy award-winng director Costa-Gravas (Z, Missing) is still going strong. His latest film, Capital (Le Capital) is a financial and political thriller set in the world of international finance. Starring Gabriel Byrne (Spider) and Gad Elmaleh (Midnight In Paris), it's about an ambitious young executive who takes charge of a large European investment bank, lays off many of his employees, and makes a corrupt deal wit the head of an American hedge fund. A clever script with twist and turns makes this a suspenseful, unpredictable, fast paced picture -- and gives fans yet another reason to celebrate this master filmmaker.
