CosmopolisDavid Cronenberg
Cronenberg's first comedy is his best film, and also his worst. He is working at his peak with the sound design, score, abstract humor and prescient themes (when big money, big art, arch DeLillo dialogue and other patriarchal glories have suddenly lost their relevancy). Then Paul Giamatti hams it up in the last scene and ruins everything.
