Rumours skewers the world’s most powerful political leaders as feckless incompetents in a dark and hilarious satire of the G7 (Group of Seven) a political organization consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the non-enumerated European Union. The premise from Canadian directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson have the G7 meeting in pastoral Germany for their annual summit. The all-star cast, led by Cate Blanchett and Alicia Vikander, are so preoccupied with drafting a toothless “provisional statement” that they fail not notice they’re all alone with the apocalypse imminent.
