The film 'Rumours, nuit blanche au sommet,' directed by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson, is set to be released in cinemas on May 7, 2025. The narrative centers on an annual summit of G7 leaders, who gather at a castle in Germany to prepare their declaration.

As night falls, the leaders find that their staff has mysteriously vanished, and in an attempt to locate them, they venture into a perilous and enigmatic forest.

Starring Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, and Denis Ménochet among others, the film presents a political satire that blends comedy with elements of surrealism.

The directors aim to explore the dynamics among various fictional world leaders who reflect real-life political figures.

Their portrayal depicts these characters as overwhelmed, distracted by personal issues and romantic entanglements, ultimately leading them to become lost in the woods.

The film, with a runtime of 1 hour and 58 minutes, features a strong ensemble cast and aims to engage audiences with its unique humor.

However, initial reactions suggest that while the performances of the actors provide moments of levity, the overall narrative may struggle to maintain audience engagement as it unfolds.

Critics have noted that the film’s pacing and lack of sustained interest may be more suited to a shorter format, such as a short or medium-length feature.

'Rumours' features contributions from both Canadian and German filmmakers, highlighting an international co-production effort.

The film promises to offer a satirical lens on political satire, reflecting contemporary global themes while leveraging comedic storytelling.
