The Last Days of Capitalism

A rich man hires a prostitute - but this deceptively simple storyline asks us to consider much more than sex in Vegas. Set entirely in a hotel suite where everything is available via the concierge, the film explores power dynamics and all the pleasures that wealth provides. If you had the money, would you fly to Paris for a week? Writer/director Adam Mervis looks at the bounds of capitalism, and the repercussions of actions by those in control, for those being controlled, and then asks us to consider what is justice.
