The film 'Rumours' showcases absurdism in a political context, using humor to reflect the dysfunction of Western democracies amid a cascading series of crises.
As leaders find themselves lost in a forest with absurd disturbances, the film builds on the premise of political powerlessness and absurd continuity.
Evan Johnson, Galen Johnson, and Guy Maddin's direction evokes classic surrealism, allowing audiences to see the layers of meaning behind the unfolding chaos.
While the humor in 'Rumours' may take some time to resonate, it mirrors the inability of western leaders to navigate their way through crises.
