Closing Night
Greed
A disgustingly rich London fashion mogul called Sir Richard McCreadie –nicknamed “Greedy”– decides to throw himself an ostentatious Romanesque 60th birthday party on the island of Mykonos, going so far as to import the real live lion from the Colosseum scene in the movie “Gladiator.” Fresh off playing sad sack Stan Laurel, Steve Coogan glitters and glows as Sir Richard in a Roman toga and gold plated crown setting off his tan and alpha-male silver-grey hair. As obstacles mount, hideous truths are revealed about the host’s past. Prolific director Michael Winterbottom serves up, in the words of one critic, “a breezy, funny, unsubtle scattershot satire-melodrama all about the moral squalor of the superrich.”
