“…it sets out to make your jaw drop. And it succeeds.”
Christian is the respected curator of a prestigious contemporary art gallery in Stockholm. He thinks of himself as a decent man—after all, he drives an electric car and supports good causes. His next show is “The Square”, an installation that invites passersby to act as though everyone truly had equal rights. But when his phone is stolen, Christian finds it difficult to live up to his ideals and all manner of strange events undermines the rarified atmosphere of the gallery.
Winner of the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the most talked-about film of the season, The Square is a laugh-out-loud comedy for the modern age – a merciless satire of modern art, hypocrisy, and fragile male ego. MA15+. At Palace Norton St and Dendy Newtown from March 1.
Starring – Claes Bang, Elizabeth Moss and Dominic West
Winner – 2017 Cannes Palme d’Or
Oscar nomination – Best Foreign Language Film
Directed by Ruben Östlund (Force Majeure)
