It's Not His Fault They're Poor

Steve Coogan has often found humor in odious, narcissistic characters. And in the new film, "Greed," he does it again. It's a satire about income inequality told through the story of a fictional fashion mogul played with precision by Coogan. He's got blow-dried locks, a perma-tan, blindingly white fake teeth, and a young girlfriend — and he's throwing an elaborate birthday party for himself on a Greek island. The film is written and directed by Michael Winterbottom, who has partnered with Coogan numerous times, including on "The Trip" movies. "Greed" is more scripted than those largely improvised character pieces. Coogan talks with John Horn about how they put real world issues of exploited garment workers in Asia and Syrian refugees in Greece alongside this flamboyant billionaire in an effort to get people to think about the super rich and super poor.
