"The End" had its world premiere at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival, where it received a polarizing reception from audiences, but those who loved it really, really loved it. It's the first narrative feature film from Director Joshua Oppenheimer after his two Oscar-nominated documentary films, "The Act Of Killing" and "The Look Of Silence." Oppenheimer and star Michael Shannon were both kind enough to spend some time talking about their work on the musical film, its themes, and resonance to an audience in today's political climate, which can be listened to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from NEON and is up for your consideration for the 97th Academy Awards in all eligible categories. Thank you, and enjoy!
