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.
— Tim Grierson, Screen Daily

148 minutes. Not Rated. Directed by Joshua Oppenheimer. In English. DCP.

From Academy Award®-nominated director Joshua Oppenheimer (The Act of KillingThe Look of Silence) comes a poignant and deeply human musical about a family that survived the end of the world.
