Greed

With live musical performances by Daniel Pabst and Martin Siewert

Money corrupts character. A lottery win plunges a couple into crisis and brings to light the darkest characteristics of the human beast: jealousy, avarice, greed. Lovers become murderers, friends become enemies ... Von Stroheim's legendary, detail-obsessed swan song to the American dream, which the studio shortens from its original nine hours to just under two. Despite all the mutilations - a masterpiece. (Florian Widegger)
