Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

NEW DOCS

The smartest men in the room may also be the most crooked. In impressive and exhaustive detail, this stylized, glossy film recounts the fast rise and even faster fall of that most infamous $70 billion company. Everyone knows about Enron, even if they don’t quite understand the ins and outs of what happened. In this carefully crafted retelling, one is reintroduced to the key players, carried far beyond newspaper headlines and reminded of the prickly, porous borderline between commerce and conspiracy.  JJ
