OUR LIST FOR YOUR NEXT CINEMA EVENING
Casino
Casinos offer plenty of material for human abysses and intrigues about power and money – the stuff of many films by none other than Martin Scorsese. It’s no wonder that the grandmaster didn’t miss the chance to make THE casino movie par excellence and to set a monument to the rough Las Vegas of the 1970s with Casino (1995).
At the center of the action is the Irishman Ace (Robert de Niro), who is not only addicted to the idea of power and fast money, but also to the former prostitute Ginger (Sharon Stone).

The 2008 drama is based on the journalistic book Bringing Down the House by Ben Mezrich. The story about a successful blackjack team from MIT became something of a legend among gamblers.
The film follows a group of talented and intelligent MIT students who are persuaded by their professor to travel to Atlantic City and use card-counting techniques to make millions off the casino’s blackjack tables. At the beginning, luck seems to be on the side of the cheating team, but if the film wasn’t as exciting as it is, the tide wouldn’t soon turn for the students and their teacher…
Croupier
