Watch The Oddity That Is Called Guy Maddin’s Rumours Trailer

Universal Pictures have released the oddity that is called Guy Maddin‘s Rumours official UK Trailer.

The Canadian filmmaker is celebrated for his melodramatic but Kafkaesque style. Sometimes comes across strange and his latest is no different which has Ari Aster producing. Below the film’s poster calls this ‘The Official Motion Picture For The G7‘!

Rumours stars Cate Blanchett, Roy Dupuis, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Charles Dance, Takehiro Hira, Denis Ménochet, Rolando Ravello, Zlatko Burić and Alicia Vikander. Described as a political comedy, the leaders of the G7 attend the annual summit to solve current crisis.

Depending on your views on the recent U.S elections, the crisis in Europe and the Middle East, Global politics now has it’s own horror. Reviews have been mixed since it’s premiere at Cannes Film Festival, will you watch this? Could The Apocalypse, giant brains or bog monsters sway you?

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. These so-called leaders become spectacles of incompetence, contending with increasingly surreal obstacles in the misty woods as night falls and they realise they are suddenly alone.

Featuring uproarious performances from a brilliant ensemble cast that includes Cate Blanchett as the German Chancellor, Charles Dance as the President of the United States, Nikki Amuka-Bird as the UK Prime Minister and Alicia Vikander as the President of the European Commission. Shifting between sharp comedy and apocalyptic horror, this genre-blending satire on political ineptitude is the latest film from visionary directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson (The Green Fog), offering a darkly absurd exploration of power and institutional failure in a slowly burning world.

Rumours will be released in UK and Irish cinemas on 6th December.
