Synopsis
Guy Maddin returns with another masterpiece, out of the norm and crazy, which will surely delight the fans we know he has at D’A. A wild satire, starring Cate Blanchett, about a meeting of G7 leaders that spirals out of control when they have to face a surreal situation alone and without secretaries. And it doesn’t help that a giant, glowing brain is found in the middle of a forest. The most unexpected comedy of the year, co-produced, among others, by Ari Aster.
