A widow investigates an insurance company; a complicated web of financial fraud unravels. Superficially similar to The Big Short and Vice in its mix of drama, comedy and mockumentary, The Laundromat offers a clear and accessible primer to the Panama Papers scandal, and to Mossack (Oldman) and Fonseca (Banderas), both gleeful at its heart.

Casino (1995, Dir. Martin Scorsese)
Amazing film detailing the rise and fall of the gangster led Las Vegas Casino empire. Told through three distinct lenses. A true tour de force of editing and direction that struggles here and there with its own morality. A must see!
Life On The Line (2015, dir. David Hackl)
Electrical power workers battle their demons, and sometimes, power cuts. Ho-hum drama which can’t decide if it’s interested more in blue-collar soap operatics or in Hawksian camaraderie under pressure, ending up focusing on neither.
