“Rumours” weaves together elements of comedy, apocalyptic horror, and melodrama as it explores the antics of seven leaders from the world’s major democracies at the G7 summit. These leaders grapple with drafting a response to a global crisis, only to reveal their laughable incompetence. Featuring standout performances by Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, and Charles Dance, the leaders face bizarre challenges as night falls in the eerie woods, finding themselves unexpectedly isolated. Directed by the visionary trio of Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson, this genre-bending satire delves into the absurdity of political dysfunction and institutional collapse in a world on the brink.
