There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

“Sporadically ingenious, occasionally chilling and entirely bonkers… By skewering the group’s longings and grudges, fears and scandals, Maddin is insisting that our leaders are only human. And that may be the most terrifying thing of all”
—Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times, NY Times Critic’s Pick

“The ineffectiveness of rhetorical politics and symbolic diplomacy is kookily but ruthlessly skewered in RUMOURS, a wildly entertaining shaggy-dog satire.”
—Guy Lodge, Variety

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.
