Trailer for Alex Gibney's Eliot Spitzer Doc, 'Client 9,' Debuts
Another Oscar hopeful documentary
So apparently today is trailer day following the already released trailers for The King's Speech and Carlos as Apple has now debuted the trailer for the Eliot Spitzer documentary Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer.
Unfortunately while in Toronto I was unable to fit any documentaries into my schedule, and while I heard much more about Errol Morris's Tabloid than I did Alex Gibney's Client 9, I am still very excited to see what this film has in store.
Variety's John Anderson says it "plays like a political thriller and that aspect — along with the sex, politics, warped humanity and faint aroma of redemption — should help the Magnolia release do healthy arthouse biz." Over at The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt says it's an "utterly fascinating look at many things you didn't know about the Eliot Spitzer scandal," and IndieWire's Anne Thompson says the movie "is full of surprises."
You can check out the trailer directly below and look for the film to hit theaters on November 5.

To anyone who lives in New York this isn't really news. Most know of how corrupt Bruno was and Wall Streets successful efforts to burry Spitzer. Yet again Main street controls everything.
I saw the movie at the Toronto FF and I live in NY. The movie is amazing and is more about the dark underside of Wall Street and the many layers of human nature. You get the sense that you don't really know anyone. I followed the scandal closely in the paper and there were many new revelations in the film. It is a very fascinating film and very entertaining!
i live in la and client 9 blew my mind when i saw it at Tribeca – its a wildly intelligent look at Wall Street and the corruption of American politics as well as a deep examination of an important former gov who could have been prez who was out in front of corporate corruption and these wall street failures years before the reg authorities. You do feel like you know no one after this film. One of the best docs i've seen – Oscar contender.
