SCREENING IN THE BERNARD OSHER FOUNDATION AUDITORIUM
“A mixture of domestic drama, apocalyptic fable and old-fashioned (and unironic) Hollywood musical, ‘The End’ is an audacious and frequently enrapturing experience, with superb performances at its emotional heart.”
148 minutes. Not Rated. Directed by Joshua Oppenheimer. In English. DCP.
From Academy Award®-nominated director Joshua Oppenheimer (The Act of Killing, The Look of Silence) comes a poignant and deeply human musical about a family that survived the end of the world.

The screenplay is by Oppenheimer and Rasmus Heisterberg (A Royal Affair), with songs by Joshua Schmidt (music) and Oppenheimer (lyrics).
