Guy Maddin’s ‘Rumours’ Starring Cate Blanchett Gets Nearly Six-Minute Ovation In Cannes Debut

Cate Blanchett helped make it starry red carpet Saturday evening at the Cannes Film Festival world premiere of Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson’s Rumours. The comedy, which is playing out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival, received a nearly six-minute standing ovation after it ended at the Palais.

The film follows the seven leaders of the world’s wealthiest liberal democracies at the annual G7 summit after they become lost in the woods and face increasing peril while attempting to draft a provisional statement regarding a global crisis.
