Actors: Robert Pattinson, Sarah Gadon
Director: David Cronenberg
Cosmopolis is an ideas movie, so even though it has way too many ideas, I love it anyway. Featuring Pattinson as a brooding financial wunderkind eking through Manhattan traffic in his limousine, the film manages to be visually interesting and does not induce claustrophobia. I imagine the novel's ideas are more fully fleshed out, but as an 100 minute discourse on our techno-dystopia and how the whims of a few affect the bottom lines of many, you can't do much worse. I also have an affinity for films who suggest infinities outside of themselves - this one sprawls out in all directions.
