Greed is good? Not in Anke Blondé’s “Dust.”
Premiering in Berlinale’s main competition, it sees two 1990s Belgian entrepreneurs, Luc and Geert (Jan Hammenecker and Arieh Worthalter), who suddenly lose everything when their many lies are about to be exposed. Panicked, they try to cover some of their tracks before the police arrive.
“If you look at them from the outside, they are an image of success. But I look them right in the eye,” says the director.
