Film Information

Ricocheting between comedy, apocalyptic horror, and swooning soap opera, Rumours follows the seven leaders of the world’s wealthiest democracies at the annual G7 summit, where they attempt to draft a provisional statement regarding a global crisis. With unexpected, uproarious performances from a brilliant ensemble cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, and Charles Dance, these so-called leaders become spectacles of incompetence, contending with increasingly surreal obstacles in the misty woods as night falls and they realize they are suddenly alone. A genre-hopping satire of political ineptitude, the latest film from incomparable directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson is a journey into the absurd heart of power and institutional failure in a slowly burning world.

Reviews

“Hopefully, RUMOURS can kick off a new age of gonzo, let’s-all-laugh-in-fear-together entertainment.”

Robert Abele
Los Angeles Times

“Sporadically ingenious, occasionally chilling and entirely bonkers…”

Jeannette Catsoulis
New York Times

“Maddin and the Johnsons effectively develop their story — goofy and absurd though it may be — so that these constant digs at our ineffectual leaders do coalesce into something meaningful and alarming.”

Bilge Ebiri
New York Magazine / Vulture

“Out of the many things one can call the strange little creature that is “Rumours,” dull is certainly not one of them.”
