Film at Lincoln Center | Cate Blanchett, Denis Ménochet, Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson on Rumours | NYFF62 @filmlinc | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, & Galen Johnson, and cast members Cate Blanchett and Denis Ménochet discuss Rumours, a Spotlight selection of the 62nd New York Film Festival, with NYFF programmer Rachel Rosen.
The world’s wealthy democratic world leaders have come together for the annual G7 summit, trading quips and nervous smiles as they do their best to diplomatically discuss vague matters of international emergency and draft statements of import between sips of wine. Yet a major, unforeseen crisis looms on the horizon for the presidents, prime ministers, and chancellors—nothing less than potential human apocalypse, hastened by the arrival of unearthed “bog men” from the Iron Age and a giant pulsating brain perched ominously in the woods. This sci-fi pulp satire finds Canadian trickster extraordinaire Guy Maddin (My Winnipeg) and fellow Manitoban co-directors Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson in a particularly wacky mood, corralling an outstanding, starry cast—including Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, Denis Ménochet, Charles Dance, and Nikki Amuka-Bird—for a merciless, midnight-movie skewering of the bureaucratic processes that govern our precarious reality. A Bleecker Street release.
Rumours opens in select theaters on October 18, courtesy of Bleecker Street Films.
