By way of a more upbeat contrast with my post from last week about a film which is being released at an unfortunate time given its subject matter, I thought I ought to show we’re not all negative here at John Soanes.

This poster, then, is for a film called The International, which is a thriller about a corrupt banking institution, based on the real-life BCCI banking scandal of the early 1990s. Whilst it’s been over a decade since the scandal in question, the release of this film strikes me as particularly timely – I reckon audiences will currently be more than willing to believe the worst of banking institutions.

Good timing, I’d say.
