The Laundromat

The two lawyers Jürgen Mossack and Ramón Fonseca are experts at setting up letter-box companies and offshore structures. They know how to make the super-rich even richer. We follow the two as blockheads in this black-humoured version of the true story of the Panama Papers, and learn how the super-rich use illegal absurdities to play a corrupt financial system. THE LAUNDROMAT shows us why Steven Soderbergh is rightfully regarded as one of Hollywood’s most versatile creatives. He masterfully weaves ordinary people’s personal dramas with the finance industry and the machinations of the elite. The brilliant ensemble of actors comprising Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman, Antonio Banderas, David Schwimmer, Matthias Schoenaerts and Sharon Stone shifts with great skill between operetta-esque comedy and sociocritical drama.
