MEN OF THE CITY

Directed by: Marc Isaacs

Documentary – United Kingdom – 2009 – 58 min

Section: Focus Marc Isaacs

Marc Isaacs chronicles the fate of several Londoners from various social classes during the current economic crisis. The film focuses on four main characters, ranging from a high-end hedge fund manager who loses his family due to his compulsive monitoring of events on the financial markets, to a spiritually oriented street sweeper seeking peace. Using images of the eternally rain-sodden British capital, as well as impressive music, Isaacs fluidly balances sensitive portraits of people striving to find their place in the swarming city of London.
