Twenty-five years after an environmental catastrophe rendered Earth uninhabitable, a family live in isolation within their luxurious bunker. They cling to hope and routine, trying to preserve a sense of normality. But when a stranger arrives, their fragile world is thrown into turmoil. As tensions rise, the illusion of their perfect existence begins to unravel. BAFTA-winning filmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer (The Act of Killing) returns with a bold, unconventional post-apocalyptic musical starring George MacKay, Tilda Swinton, and Michael Shannon.

Reviews

‘A completely sung-through opera version might yet be produced in Bayreuth or Vienna. I can’t stop thinking about it.’
★★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

‘It’s funny, in a deeply grotesque way. No line is ever directly played for laughs by Shannon, Swinton, or McKay, their selfish myopia reading naturally as true to life. But, as they say, you have to laugh or else you’ll cry.’
★★★★
