Our take
The financial world provides the backdrop for this film’s plot, filled with business schemes and black humor. Featuring Toni Servillo (Il Divo, The Great Beauty ) as a powerful tycoon, The Jewel is a swirling and complex depiction of the euphoria of wealth and the machismo of corporations.
