A Mighty Heart
Synopsis
Mariane Pearl's bravery is remarkable and her courage, along with that of her late husband, serve to make A Mighty Heart, despite Danny Pearl's heart-breaking death, a profound and ultimately uplifting love story. It is also a fitting tribute to a dedicated reporter not a hero, but an ordinary man. An ordinary hero.

Greed

GREED tells the story of self-made British billionaire Sir Richard McCreadie (Steve Coogan), whose retail empire is in crisis. For 30 years he has ruled the world of retail fashion – bringing the high street to the catwalk and the catwalk to the high street – but after a damaging public inquiry, his image is tarnished. To save his reputation, he decides to bounce back with a highly publicised and extravagant party celebrating his 60th birthday on the Greek island of Mykonos. A satire on the grotesque inequality of wealth in the fashion industry, the film sees McCreadie’s rise and fall through the eyes of his biographer, Nick (David Mitchell).<br /> Official Selection Toronto International Film Festival 2019 - Special Presentations - World premiere<br /> Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2019 - Headline Gala - European premiere
