The Square

Ruben Östlund / SE, DE, FR, DK, 2017 / 142 min.

Anyone who has ever traipsed past conceptual contemporary art installations in mute bewilderment will find much to enjoy in The Square, winner of the Golden Palm at Cannes. Östlund delivered a hilarious satire on the modern art world – even so, the absurdist tale is also a call for solidarity in a world adrift. The film is nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
