Rumours 2024

The 2024 film Rumours is a dark comedy and horror satire written and directed by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson. The plot centers around the annual G7 summit, where the leaders of the world's seven wealthiest democracies gather in a remote German location to draft a provisional statement regarding an unspecified global crisis. The film features an ensemble cast including Cate Blanchett as Hilda Ortmann, the Chancellor of Germany, along with Roy Dupuis, Charles Dance, Denis Ménochet, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rolando Ravello, Takehiro Hira, and Alicia Vikander. However, as night falls, these supposedly competent leaders find themselves stranded, separated from their staff and all other people, and beset by increasingly surreal obstacles in the misty woods, including encounters with reanimated bog bodies. The film becomes a bizarre journey that skewers political incompetence and institutional failure, suggesting that these world leaders are more concerned with their public image than with the looming apocalyptic crisis, resulting in a commentary on global politics against a backdrop of supernatural and absurd horror. The movie had its world premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2024, followed by a U.S. release on October 18, 2024. Read More
