The End
Joshua Oppenheimer / DK, DE, IE, IT, GB, 2024 / 149 min.
Post-apocalyptic musical about the last family on earth featuring Tilda Swinton and Michael Shannon as the leads. The film is the visually astounding fiction debut of Joshua Oppenheimer (The Act of Killing).
The last family on earth are hiding out in a bunker deep inside a salt mine after society collapsed due to an ecological disaster. The son, a naïve 20-something born in the bunker, only knows the outside world from stories. Together with his father (Michael Shannon), a former energy magnate, he is working on a suspicious book, while his unpredictable mother (Tilda Swinton) worries about conserving the many priceless paintings and works of art.

This autumn, Eye presents Tilda Swinton – Ongoing, an exclusive exhibition dedicated to the celebrated Scottish performer, artist, and fashion icon. This unique and personal exhibition centres on Swinton’s creative collaborations.
Why in Eye
Tilda Swinton: "Joshua Oppenheimer’s barely-dystopian allegory: a billionaire family underground for twenty-five years in their exquisite recreation of an art-stuffed Upper East Side apartment. The world above ground burns and they sing their denial. We spent that Spring in the salt mines of Sicily and Leipzig and are, forevermore since, grateful for the sky, the birds and each other, as long as we have them."
