Directed by Joshua Oppenheimer (The Act of Killing) in his feature debut, The End is a wholly unique slice of cinema – a post-apocalyptic musical following a family confined to a palatial underground bunker – that is by turns funny, strange, enraging, and heartbreaking.
Twenty-five years after environmental collapse left the Earth uninhabitable, Mother (Swinton), Father (Shannon) and Son (MacKay) are holed up in a huge underground salt mine, living out their days in relative luxury. The arrival of a stranger, Girl, upends their usual routine, and long-repressed feelings of remorse and resentment rise to the surface threatening to destroy the family's delicate balance.
