GOETHE FILMS @ TIFF Bell Lightbox: Gravity (Schwerkraft)

Picking up the thematic threads of our first film program on Culture+Economy last fall, GOETHE FILMS @ TIFF Bell Lightbox presents a new cluster on crisis, greed and debt.

A subversive comedy about a banker-turned-robber

Director Maximilian Erlenwein tells a modern-day Robin Hood tale of an up-and-coming bank employee robbing his rich customers' homes and giving the money to the less fortunate. The initial rush of crossing social boundaries soon develops into an addiction to even greater thrills…
