The leaders of the G7 nations gather at a German castle for their yearly meeting, anticipating a predictable event filled with pleasantries and ultimately resulting in an inconsequential statement. However, things become strange when the Canadian prime minister, Maxime (Roy Dupuis), finds he can’t get another glass of wine. The staff has disappeared, and despite repeated attempts to summon them, no one appears—and darkness is falling. When the French leader, Sylvain (Denis Ménochet), ventures into the forest looking for scattered documents, his return, covered in a strange substance, truly unsettles everyone. These influential figures from the “free world” are suddenly isolated and defenseless – without even a cell signal! The events that follow do attempt to convey a significant message, but the use of soap and humor to communicate it simply didn’t resonate with me. Cate Blanchett portrays their German host, Hilda (clearly channeling Ursula von der Leyen), and there's an obvious attraction between her and the Canadian prime minister, who also seems to have shared a past encounter with the British representative (Nikki Amuka-Bird). The latter is close friends with the sleeping US President (Charles Dance), who in turn appears to be the object of admiration for the Italian leader, Antonio (Rolando Ravello), seemingly the only one with any awareness, having taken salami from the buffet earlier. Perhaps a resolution to their situation can be found back at the castle? That’s where the film really falls apart as a dramatic experience, with jarring juxtapositions of modern and ancient elements struggling to make sense of this increasingly absurd and drawn-out plot. There's a glimmer of something compelling in the final few minutes, though it’s a rather bleak conclusion, but otherwise, the rest seems content to mock something without actually being amusing. Dance may have had the best approach: attend, consume refreshments, sleep, then shield oneself with aluminum foil. It feels like a wasted chance, unfortunately.
