‘The End’ Review: Tilda Swinton And Michael Shannon Sing Away The Apocalypse And The Songs Are Pretty Good – Telluride Film Festival
A review of 'The End' , a musical about the end of the world with Tilda Swinton, Michael Shannon and George MacKay in full osng and dance mode
In The End , Tilda Swinton and Michael Shannon are the extremely wealthy mother and father (no one has formal names that we know of) of a family who have been living in this extravagant underground ice palace of a bunker for 25 years after our failure to do something about Earth’s climate change and environment finally did in all of humanity. Oppenheimer is a documentarian of such heavy deadly serious movies as Act Of Killing and Look Of Silence but is also an admirer of Hollywood’s golden musical age and directors like Vincente Minnelli and Gene Kelly. In some ways Oppenheimer’s seemingly bonkers idea of putting the plight of a family at the end of the world spilling their guts in increasingly depressing song makes creative sense.
