Review of The Square (2017) by Tvjerry — 30 Jun 2020
If you appreciate the contemporary art world, you'll probably find this film an interesting look into that culture. Claes Bang plays the curator at a big Stockholm museum who's preparing for a new exhibit, but the story delves into other aspects of his life.
To say much more would be to spoil one of this film's best aspects…surprise! There are numerous times when something unexpected happens, taking the narrative in a new direction (not really plot twists but interesting detours).
The people are interesting and the situations are sometimes fascinating. Writer/director Ruben Östlund (Force Majeure) continues to create work that crosses between drama and satire, while crafting personal stories that present varied and engaging characters.
