Director: Ruben Östlund, Sweden 2017, 151 minutes, Cert 15
Christian, a handsome divorcee father, is the respected curator of a contemporary art museum in Stockholm which is host to a new minimalist project on the importance of community values. After he finds himself the victim of a scam, his liberal credentials and sense of social responsibility are put to the test, with excruciating results. This hugely entertaining, provocative and satirical drama from the director of Force Majeure takes a swipe at both the art world and male, middle class privilege.
Winner: Palme d’Or, Cannes 2017
“A provocative art-world satire full of anxious laughs and honest gasps” Robbie Collins, Telegraph
