A brilliant satirical comedy with Cate Blanchette (Tar, The Aviator) and Charles Dance (The Crown, Game of Thrones) riffing on the ineptitude of politicians, deftly mixing genres to deliver a riotously hilarious send-up of our dear global leaders quite unlike anything you have seen before. Think Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets the Marx Brothers and you’ll be on the right track with this idiosyncratic pleasure from the multi-award winning inimitable mind of filmmaker Guy Maddin (The Saddest Music in the World, My Winnepeg).
During a G7 summit, world leaders are hard at work trying to draft a joint statement on the latest global crisis. Such is the intensity of their toil that they fail to notice signs of a potential apocalypse heading their way. Suddenly, alone in the woods, they must scramble to save humanity or, at the very minimum, themselves. With side-splitting gags, Rumours assures us that there is laughter at the end of the world.
