Alex Gibney’s Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer

Date:

[Editor’s Note: This was filmed during the 2010 Toronto Int.Film Festival]

More about the ruthlessness and righteousness of Eliot Spitzer, than the incident that would tarnish his presidency candidacy but not his future in politics, Alex Gibney’s Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer is a formable account of an enemy’s enemies and surprisingly could have been completed without Spitzer’s participation. Not a hard hitting political documentary, but a portrait that might give us a little insight on the style Gibney might use for his eventual docu on Lance Armstrong. Here’s the Q&A following the public screening last Monday.
