As he did with the
occupation of Iraq in No End in Sight, Charles Ferguson shines a light
on the global financial crisis in Inside Job. Accompanied by narration
from Matt Damon, Ferguson begins and ends in Iceland, a flourishing country that
gave American-style banking a try--and paid the price. Then he looks at the
spectacular rise and cataclysmic fall of deregulation in the United States.
Unlike Alex Gibney's fiscal films, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room
and Casino Jack, Ferguson builds his narrative around dozens of players,
interviewing authors, bank managers, government ministers, and even a
psychotherapist, who speaks to a culture that encourages Gordon Gekko-like
behavior, but the number of those who declined to comment, like Alan Greenspan,
is even larger. Though the director isn't as combative as Michael Moore, he
asks tough questions and elicits squirms from several participants, notably
former Treasury secretary David McCormick and Columbia dean Glenn Hubbard,
George W. Bush's economic adviser. Their reactions are understandable, since
the borders between Wall Street, Washington, and the Ivy League dissolved years
ago; it's hard to know who to trust when conflicts of interest run rampant. If
Ferguson takes Reagan and Bush to task for tax cuts that benefit the wealthy,
he criticizes Clinton for encouraging derivatives and Obama for failing to
deliver on the promise of reform. And in the category of unlikely heroes:
former governor Eliot Spitzer, who fought against fraud as New York's attorney
general (he's the subject of Gibney's documentary Client 9). --Kathleen

Description
From Academy
Award®-nominated filmmaker, Charles Ferguson (NO END IN SIGHT), comes INSIDE
JOB, the first film to expose the shocking truth behind the economic crisis
of 2008. The global financial meltdown, at a cost of over $20 trillion,
resulted in millions of people losing their homes and jobs. Through extensive
research and interviews with major financial insiders, politicians and journalists,
INSIDE JOB traces the rise of a rogue industry and unveils the corrosive
relationships which have corrupted politics, regulation and academia.
