With Force Majeure, Ruben Östlund’s name spread throughout Cannes and far beyond. A comedy about a cowardly man who makes no attempt to save his family during an avalanche and the aftermath of his inaction, the film garnered huge acclaim and his new film was eagerly anticipated. The Square is also a comedy, this time about a man who performs an apparently brave act and has to deal with the consequences.
We first meet Christian (Claes Bang) lying on his sofa at work and awoken to give an interview with an American journalist, Anne (Elisabeth Moss). He is the curator of a contemporary art museum and Anne wants to him to explain his comments about exhibitions. Östlund wrote the screenplay and his take on art-world babble is brilliant. In a nice visual touch, Christian is also filmed with the words You Are Nothing in neon tube lighting behind him.
