‘Rumours’: Cate Blanchett Channels Angela Merkel in Her Weirdest Movie Yet
Within the first 15 minutes of Rumours, the newest off-kilter fantasia from Canadian director Guy Maddin and his collaborators Evan and Galen Johnson, the ensemble of main characters stumble upon a dead body. A bog body, specifically—a preserved human from the Iron Age whose flesh has been mummified by the underground peat while the passing millennia melted their bones away.
Bog bodies are often the remains of tribal leaders, the local archaeologist explains, killed by their subordinates in ritual sacrifice when their leadership proved unsatisfactory. It’s a groaningly obvious dig at the movie’s themes: Rumours takes place at a near-future version of the G7 summit, and its cast are seven of the world’s most powerful heads of state, gathered together to solve an unnamed crisis—or die trying.
The film, which hits theaters in the U.S. Oct. 18, is led by an international cast, each playing fictional presidents and prime ministers of the seven nations of the G7. As Charles de Gaulle once decreed that the leader of a country ought to embody l’esprit de la nation, the characters in Rumours exhibit stereotypes particular to their home country, each more absurd than the last.

YouTube/screengrabAndrew Schulz, the comedian who laughed in Donald Trump’s face during their 90-minute podcast sit-down last week, now says he thinks Trump is “winning by a landslide,” adding, “it’s not close anymore,” as his podcast co-hosts cracked up at his big takeaway from meeting the Republican candidate. “Before he came on, I was like ‘He ain’t got a chance! He’s coming on here? He’s gotta be down bad,’” Schulz said in a newly posted recap of the interview’s aftermath. Trump’s appearance on Schulz’s Flagrant podcast brought in 3 million YouTube views in under 48 hours.But since the interview was uploaded online, Schulz said he’s gotten a peak into just how many people still support the divisive ex-president. “It was the looks on the street,” Schulz said on the podcast. “It was like, you know when someone who's trying to sell you drugs, they give you this nod,” he explained, implying that supporters of Trump’s were silently expressing their approval of the sit-down. “That’s all I’ve been getting for the last week.” Read more at The Daily Beast.
