PIX BRIAN MCEVOY NO REPRO FEE FOR ONE USE Le Capital is cracking good melodrama set in a contemporary world of high finance and low cunning, Costa-Gavrass Capital nimbly plays on our worst memories of the 2008 economic meltdown with a persuasively detailed tale of boardroom politics, international banking, remorseless backstabbing and billion-dollar wheeling-and-dealing. Capital follows the sudden rise of Marc Tourneuil (Gad Elmaleh), a hard-driven up-and-comer who becomes CEO of Frances (fictional) Phenix Bank.

ALL eyes were on veteran actor Gabriel Byrne as he walks the red carpet as part of the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival.

The star was the main attraction at this evening’s event, which saw him turn out for a screening of his film ‘Capital’ in Dublin.

Byrne plays the part of an ambitious financier who is unexpectedly promoted to head a major Paris bank in the political thriller.

The 62-year-old was be accompanied by the movie’s director Costas Gavras to the premiere at Cineworld in the city centre.

While many of his acting peers are preparing for this weekend’s Academy Awards, Byrne is currently residing in Dublin as he continues to film upcoming BBC drama ‘Quirke’.

Production on the four part crime series began before Christmas and is due to finish up next month.

Following the screening of Byrne’s ‘Capital’, audiences will line up to see ‘Love/Hate’ star Killian Scott as his movie ‘Black Ice’ opens at the Lighthouse cinema.
