Heads up -- or I suppose in this context great big throbbing forest brains up! Guy Maddin's latest wackadoo movie Rumours, which stars Cate Blanchett, Denis Ménochet, Alicia Vikander, and several other international actors of note, is now available to rent! Click here to do so. It is as I have said several times this year the funniest movie I've watched in 2024 and honestly after last week's election it seems even more meaningful. I think it will land differently, watching it now, than it did back when I was a person who had "hope" inside of me. We'll see because I'm dying to re-watch myself. Here is my Pajiba review of the film from when it screened at NYFF in October. Oh and it's also getting a blu-ray release in January -- pre-order it here if that interests you. This movie might just turn out to be the most prophetic movie of our time which uhhh is terrifying.

Was the movie poking fun at how ineffectual world leaders are? I don’t know. The characters aren’t even stereotypes, they are just ideas. The best thing I can say about the movie is that it’s utter nonsense. I was tempted to walk around the time the Canadian discovered a giant brain sitting on the forrest floor. When the bog monsters appeared, I wish I did walk out.
