Irish Film Institute -WALL STREET

WALL STREET

Oliver Stone’s masterly critique of the 1980s’ financial world where wealth and profits are more highly prized than anything else. Corporate raider and trader Gordon Gekko’s greed and power impresses the young Bud Fox, who agrees to act illegally, believing Gordon’s assertion that ‘no-one gets hurt’. Now we know that is far from the case, we can watch the rise and fall of the tycoon with a jaundiced 21st-century eye. There will be a follow-up talk with David McWilliams, Ireland’s own financial guru.
