London Breeze is thrilled that award-winning actor, George MacKay (1917, Femme, Captain Fantastic) will join us for a Q&A following a special preview screening of The End from Academy Award®-nominated director Joshua Oppenheimer (The Act of Killing, The Look of Silence) in partnership with MUBI and Riverside Studios. The End is a poignant and deeply human musical about a family that survived the end of the world. It is also Oppenheimer’s debut feature drama following his highly successful documentaries.
Twenty-five years after environmental collapse left the Earth uninhabitable, Mother (Tilda Swinton), Father (Michael Shannon) and Son (George MacKay) are confined to their palatial bunker, where they struggle to maintain hope and a sense of normalcy by clinging to the rituals of daily life—until the arrival of a stranger, Girl (Moses Ingram), upends their happy routine. Son, a naïve twenty-something who has never seen the outside world, is fascinated by the newcomer, and suddenly the delicate bonds of blind optimism that have held this wealthy clan together begin to fray. As tensions rise, their seemingly idyllic existence starts to crumble, with long-repressed feelings of remorse and resentment threatening to destroy the family’s delicate balance. But their reckoning with difficult truths also points to a different way forward, one based on acceptance, love, and a capacity for change.
An urgent and unforgettable cautionary tale, The End stars Academy Award® winner Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton), Academy Award® nominee Michael Shannon (Nocturnal Animals, Revolutionary Road), George MacKay and Moses Ingram (Lady in the Lake, The Queen’s Gambit). The screenplay is by Oppenheimer and Rasmus Heisterberg (A Royal Affair), with songs by Joshua Schmidt (music) and Oppenheimer (lyrics).
