She was refereeing to the death of Daphne Caruana Galizia, a journalist who was using the Panama Papers to investigate corruption. She was killed by a car bomb in 2017."Some people died for it. This movie is fun, it's funny, but it's really, really important," Streep said.To this, Soderbergh added: "We decided that a dark comedy would have the best possible chance of remaining in the minds of the viewers and also gave us the opportunity to use the complexity of these kind of financial activities almost as a joke, almost as a setup for a punchline. Otherwise(viewers) would feel as if they were being educated as opposed to entertained."The film also stars Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas.( With inputs from IANS )
