Rumours trailer plays out like Mad Libs with bog bodies, giant brains, and Cate Blanchett

See? Here’s an adjective: wild. The film’s official synopsis, which barely does whatever’s going on here justice, reads:

Ricocheting between comedy, apocalyptic horror, and swooning soap opera, Rumours follows the seven leaders of the world’s wealthiest democracies at the annual G7 summit, where they attempt to draft a provisional statement regarding a global crisis… These so-called leaders become spectacles of incompetence, contending with increasingly surreal obstacles in the misty woods as night falls and they realize they are suddenly alone. A genre-hopping satire of political ineptitude, the latest film from incomparable directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson is a journey into the absurd heart of power and institutional failure in a slowly burning world.

The trailer also includes some images that may sound equally randomly generated, but are somehow very real. Those include (but are definitely not limited to): Roy Dupuis ripping off a condom after having sex with Cate Blanchett and then physically assaulting someone while yelling about how much he loves strong women, Alicia Vikander speaking Swedish next to a giant brain, and the very British Charles Dance playing a U.S. politician and wiping his mouth with the stars and stripes. 

Rumours was directed and written by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson, and also stars Nikki Amuka-Bird, Takehiro Hira, Denis Ménochet, Rolando Ravello, and Zlatko Buric. It premieres in theaters October 18.
