Multiple Oscar-winning actor Meryl Streep believes "The Laundromat" is an important film as it tries to shed a light on a "dark joke that's being played on all of us".

Directed by filmmaker Steven Soderbergh, the comedy-drama is about the Panama Papers expose. It features Streep, Gary Oldman and Antonia Banderas in the lead.

According to Variety, speaking ahead of the movie's world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday, Streep said, "This is an entertaining, flash, funny way of telling a very, very dark, black-hearted joke, a joke that's being played on all of us. It's a crime not without victims. And the victims, many of them are journalist."
