The End (#CinémathèqueUnreleased)

Show & Culture

Denmark-Germany-Italy 2024 | Joshua Oppenheimer | French subtitles | 149’ | digital Cast: Tilda Swinton, Michael Shannon, George MacKay, Moses Ingram Official Competition, San Sebastián Film Festival 2024. Confined in a bunker after the collapse of the planet, a family’s lives are upended when a stranger appears at their door. “A mixture of domestic drama, apocalyptic fable and old-fashioned (and unironic) Hollywood musical, The End is an audacious and frequently enrapturing experience, with superb performances at its emotional heart.” (Screen Daily) “Its persuasive, unsettling intelligence will get under your fingernails and into your bones. If any recent release has the potential to become a cult classic it is this melodic warning from beneath the earth.” (Irish Times) “The End carries that rare sense of a lack of compromise – a fully realized world from a visionary director. It’s exhilarating to simply exist in this world that Oppenheimer and his team (including co-writer Rasmus Heisterberg) craft.” (The Film Stage)
