Cohen Media Group, the US distributor for Capital, directed by Costa-Gavras, released both a new poster and a new trailer today!

The new tagline for the film–Money is the master–is a line from hedge-funder Dittmar Rigule, played by Gabriel Byrne, and it sums up the global problem examined by the film quite nicely.

It is wonderful to see Capital‘s promotional materials get spiffed up for the US release. And please see below for special appearances on both coasts by renowned director Costa-Gavras!

    Thanks for showing us the new poster for Capital. I like both the new poster and the movie very much. It is a movie that entertains and also at the same time tells an important story about greedy culture.

    I hope the movie will be seen by many people in USA.

    • Nora, I really enjoyed this film a lot.

      We see Gabriel Byrne in a role quite different from his previous work plus the story is engaging, sometimes viciously funny, and always moving FAST.

      Costa-Gavras is still at the top of his game and this film shows he is the master we all know him to be.

      And I, too, hope many people in the USA will see this film. It is a scathing analysis of global economics and the people who benefit from it.
