Viewing Notes

An absurdist satire on the G7 Summit and how ineffectual the members are.  There’s a lot of talk, and confusion, and wandering around aimlessly, and ultimately, nothing gets accomplished, which I guess is the point. The satire is mostly subtle, except for the blunt metaphor at the end. I also found it curious that Charles Dance, playing the U.S. President, speaks with a British accent.
