The main creative force behind this film is Canadian director Guy Maddin, who’s known for his surreal early-cinema, silent-movie aesthetic (his Wiki page). For this film, he’s gone more modern and teamed up with Galen & Evan Johnson to create this bizarre send-up. It’s set in Germany, as the members of the G7 gather to write a provisional statement. After considerable dialogue, they run into the dark woods where creepy 2000 year-old bog bodies and a giant brain appear. This isn’t a horror film at all, but some sort an absurd parody with a few off-the-wall laughs. The star names are Cate Blanchett (the German rep) and Charles Dance (the US President with his usual British accent). The retention of his accent should give you a taste of the weirdness that permeates this picture. Other than the appeal of these actors, it’s hard to figure why anyone would want to see this wacky, bizarre, arty satire, but it may appeal to certain cineastes.
