水能载舟,亦能覆舟。2008金融海啸之后,全美视引入中资为救市良方。透过反收购美国公司,中资企业如洪流涌进山姆叔叔的金融市场,有人额手称庆,有人看出隐忧。转眼十年快过,积罗夫斯坦遍访华尔街,他的镜头下有大鳄,也有机会主义者,更有注定后悔出镜的业界「消息灵通人士」,进退之间几乎拍成了一齣恐怖片—到处是街客想像不到的秘密交易、巧取豪夺。如果这「故事」有教训,大抵是:知难而退简直是天方夜谭, 失手的下次只会来得更狠更卑鄙。
Since the cult success of Merci Patron!, activist/journalist/filmmaker François Ruffin has become an MP. Here, he attempts to table a law aimed at upholding the rights of what in Quebec are known as caregivers, and shows us in passing how a law whose need seems patently obvious is put together, debated, voted on and . . . dies on the battleground of French politics. A stirring documentary about social injustice that somehow manages to make us bust a gut laughing as we rage with indignation. And also cry at the beauty of it all, thanks to the director’s humanist sensibility and a deft play between reality and fiction.
