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.

A Bleecker Street Media release.

Official Selection: Cannes, TIFF, New York Film Festival

"A laugh-out-loud political satire. Cate Blanchett is impishly funny." - Variety

Additional showtimes for October 18-24 will be availalbe on October 7.

Preceded by our Guy Maddin retrospective Forbidden Rooms: The Films of Guy Maddin
