Rumours is a wonderfully surreal farce that also might be, bizarrely enough, the most accessible work ever by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson
that moviegoers never could have possibly anticipated desiring, yet should hold close all the same.
Set in the midst of a G7 summit held in the German village of Dankerode, the film charts how quickly carefully choreographed political theatre can disintegrate into every-man/nation-for-himself survivalism with outré comic flair. At the beginning of the meeting, all seems warm and fuzzy between the leaders of Germany , Canada , the United States , France , the U.K. , Italy and Japan .
Crucially, the filmmakers manage to give all seven of their leaders – along with a quick but memorably loopy appearance from Alicia Vikander as the Secretary-General of the European Commission – enough space to get in on the fun.
