Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room
Early on in this documentary, the point is made that while the Enron scandal/debacle seems to be about obscure numbers and accounting practices, it's really about people.
In the same way, this movie seems to be a documentary, but really it's a classical tragedy.. full of fiends, innocents, and misguided leaders with fatal flaws. Honestly, if the human folly brilliantly documented in this flick doesn't have you shaking your head by the final curtain, then you probably went to the theater in a neck brace.
Excellent excellent stuff.. I usually hate "If you liked (X) then you'll love (Y)" recommendations, but this really does follow in the vein of The Corporation.. which in itself was a must see movie.
Playing at 5th avenue...
