MICHAEL BERGER A HYSTERIA
 |
Thomas Fuerhapter
Austria,, 50', 2010
German with Turkish subtitles

The subject of the film, Austrian investment banker Michael Berger, who became a dollar millionaire through a risky hedge fund, remains a chimera-an absent individual who also cannot be captured through his crime. There is not even a single picture of him to see, and all that is left of his influence are the impressive sums that are then actually missing from the local banks at some time. In six attempts, the film tries to draw together a case from the traces of Michael Berger's undertakings. It traverses his path, starting from the supposed end, Berger's non-appearance before an American court: from this emerges the outline of a rise-and-fall story that extends from the narrow borders of Austrian working worlds through to Wall Street.
