The Square
Director
Ruben Östlund
Screenplay
Ruben Östlund
Christian, the elegant and respected chief curator of a prestigious contemporary art museum in Stockholm, is preparing a provocative installation titled 'The Square' that invites trust and solidarity. But the theft of his phone and wallet sets off a series of absurd decisions that plunge his professional and personal life into chaos, exposing the hypocrisy of the art world and of good intentions. Ruben Ostlund crafts a biting, uncomfortable satire, winner of the Palme d'Or, riddled with scenes that drag the viewer out of their comfort zone. A sharp critique of posturing, privilege and the gap between what we preach and what we do.
