SYNOPSIS

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.”
