Director Christophe Barratier (THE CHORUS) creates a spellbinding thriller about Jérôme Kerviel (the charismatic Arthur Dupont), whose spectacular downfall electrified France.
From a modest background in Brittany, the brilliant 31-year-old Kerviel conquered the Paris Bourse taking controversial financial risks, trading nearly 50 billion Euros. In fact, he was using sophisticated arbitrage techniques to camouflage deceptive dealings. His manoeuvres resulted in losses of 5 billion Euros, which nearly brought down the prestigious Société Générale and possibly contributed to the worldwide financial crisis later in 2008.
Was Kerviel corrupted by the system? Did his superiors turn a blind eye, dazzled by the prospect of easy money? Based on the infamous rogue trader’s own autobiography.
