Maddin's latest, 'Rumours,' embraces a uniquely comedic absurdism as world leaders navigate existential crises in a colorful yet strangely familiar setting, challenging traditional cinematic norms.
The film showcases a satirical take on the often comical ineffectiveness of political leaders when faced with real crises, portrayed dramatically through their bizarre interactions and antics.
'Rumours' marks a departure from Maddin's previous silent and surrealist style, instead presenting a contemporary narrative that capitalizes on absurd humor and notable star performances.
As characters tackle a supposed global crisis, their distractions and petty disagreements reveal a deeper commentary on the nature of leadership and collective decision-making.
