(Joshua Oppenheimer, Denmark/Ireland/Germany/Italy/UK/US/Sweden 2024, 148 min., DCP)
Decades after a series of events make the surface of the earth nearly uninhabitable, a wealthy family (Tilda Swinton, Michael Shannon, and George McKay) and their staff (Lennie James, Tim McInnerny, and Bronagh Gallagher) wile away their time in a luxurious underground bunker. The days are the same, with exercise bikes, history lessons, and rearranging the art on the walls, until a stranger (Moses Ingram) wanders into their lives and throws every preconception into chaos. An urgent and unforgettable cautionary tale, this poignant and deeply human musical about a family that survived the end of the world is the narrative feature debut from documentarian Joshua Oppenheimer (The Act of Killing, The Look of Silence).
With introduction by director Joshua Oppenheimer and followed by Q&A with Oppenheimer and Curator of Film Exhibitions Jared Case.
