Margin Call

This extreme compression, of course, can?t help but lead to considerable distortion?to properly tell the long-view story of what happened in 2008, you?d need a multigenerational miniseries spanning at least three decades, the Roots of Wall Street. But Margin Call isn?t interested in the long view; the perspective it takes is rather a close-up of the ruthlessness of unfettered capitalism in action. This may be the first post-2008 feature film to dramatize the crisis itself, rather than using it as a backdrop for an outraged harangue against the banks. Don?t get me wrong, the banks need haranguing, but now that Occupy Wall Street?s on the job, maybe the movies can return to time-honored tasks involving character and story.
