Rumours Interview: Directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson

Описание: A directing duo is somewhat of a rare thing in Hollywood. Apart from The Wachowskis and a handful of brothers (Coen, Russo, Farrelly, and Safdie), it’s not a particularly common thing. Having a directing trio? Well, that’s even rarer, though Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson have certainly seemed to figure out how to make it work, collaborating on 2017’s The Green Fog and, most recently, Rumours.

It’s a particularly impressive feat when you consider how unique this film’s vision is. Rumours revolves around an annual G7 Summit, a forum that sees some of the most powerful world leaders come together to address pressing issues. It’s a situation that’s already rich with chaotic potential considering the egos and unspoken behavioral codes that politicians adhere to, but the filmmakers take things to the next level when they throw in surreal elements like undead bog bodies hiding in the thick German woods and a giant, unexplained brain plopped down in the middle of the trees. Can these world leaders overcome these bizarre obstacles to draft a joint statement on an unspecified global crisis? Or will they simply watch the world burn around them?

Collider got the chance to speak to the directing trio about the hilarious political jargon populating the film, developing the film’s unique look and score, and how they collaborate to make their process as seamless as possible.
