Open Outcry Trailers

A fascinating look at the high-speed, high-power trading floor of Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. Director Jon Else explores this hectic, noisy, seemingly chaotic workplace with his signature style -- eschewing narration in favor of long, real-time shots that bring the viewer right into the heart-stopping action of the trading floor. He reveals the traders' sudden wealth, sudden disaster, and grace under pressure as they exchange billions of dollars in futures and options contracts - for cattle, pork bellies, Eurodollars and the Nasdaq-100 futures. Also revealed is the endangerment of the open outcry trading system as the digital revolution replaces it at many of the world's financial exchanges.

Reviews
Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
