Mount Vic Flicks is currently on a break. Open again every day from Boxing Day, 26-Dec.
Ricocheting between comedy, apocalyptic horror, and swooning soap opera, 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.
With unexpected, uproarious performances from a brilliant ensemble cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, and Charles Dance, these so-called leaders become spectacles of incompetence, contending with increasingly surreal obstacles in the misty woods as night falls and they realize they are suddenly alone. A genre-hopping satire of political ineptitude, the latest film from incomparable directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson is a journey into the absurd heart of power and institutional failure in a slowly burning world.
Cast: Cate Blanchett, Denis Ménochet, Alicia Vikander, Charles Dance, Zlatko Buric, Roy Dupuis, Takehiro Hira, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rolando Ravello
Directors: Evan Johnson, Galen Johnson, Guy Maddin
