Why watch this film?
"The Fall of the American Empire" has a relation - although it is not a direct sequel - with "The Decline of the American Empire" and "The Barbarian Invasions", forming a kind of trilogy by French-Canadian director Denys Arcand. Here, we have a mix of comedy and thriller, bringing criticism to capitalism and the financial and legal systems. The result is effective, although very far from the two previous films.
