In Guy Maddin's Rumours, What's Amazing is That There's No Secret Societies At Work Here

If you love farces, then Rumours is for you. This bizarre #apocalypse #horror movie from Guy Maddin & Evan and Galen Johnson has lots to like, and I feel the #folkhorror style elements are done just right. #moviereview at:

Now playing at select theatres Spoiler Alert When Guy Maddin’s Rumours gets heavy with absurdist humour and presents a group of world leaders as inept, this movie may well be his most bizarre to date. That’s because of the setup: these folks have gathered to deal with some unknown global crisis.

Triangle of Sadness (2022)

Rumours (dirs. Guy Maddin, Evan & Galen Johnson) x VIFF 2024.

Set at a Group of Seven (G7) conference gathering the less than esteemed political leaders of the world's richest nations, Maddin and the Johnsons use the intergovernmental economic forum to mine plenty of goofy satirical material under the guise of writing a joint provisional statement after an unspecified global crisis. Starring an accented Cate Blanchett as the Chancellor of Germany, her and her international cohorts bumble through a surreal treatise of political collaboration after everyone else disappears and they get lost in a German forest. The Winnipeger directors present a glossily-lit soap opera satire more reminiscent of a summer camp slasher flick than a serious government summit, but that seems like precisely the point.

Screened at the 2024 Vancouver International Film Festival as part of the Special Presentations series.

Screening at the VIFF Centre from Nov. 18–21.
