OF MONEY AND BLOOD

French media called it the “fraud of the century”: small-time crooks from the Parisian immigrant district of Belleville teamed up with an investor from the French upper class in 2008 to cheat the French state out of hundreds of millions in the new market for emission certificates. Xavier Giannoli (LOST ILLUSIONS) transforms the non-fiction book of the same name by journalist Fabrice Arfi into an energetic mixture of thriller and social study carried by the charisma of the two main actors Vincent Lindon and Ramzy Bedia.
