We are in 2017 and the Cannes Festival celebrates its 75th anniversary. Competition is fully in progress, and the future Palme d’Or predictions are difficult: Okja, 120 beats per minute, killing St. Deer, beautiful day … very high quality films joke at the gate. But the evening of the closure ceremony was finally a Swedish outsider, that no one saw the coming who wins the bet!
It has to be said that from his presentation, the square of Ruben Ostlund was violently divided, script viewers in two almost irreconcilable camps. Between the “masterpiece” and “fraud”, the qualifying qualifying representatives were to qualify for the director’s 3rd feature film. After 8 years, and when he arrives on Netflix, we can’t wait if he releases passions!
What are you talking about?
Kristian is a divorced father who loves to spend time with his children. A appreciated preservative of the Museum of Contemporary Art, it is also one of the people who move by electric car and support the main humanitarian reasons.
He prepares itself an exhibition called “Square” around the installation that invites altruism and reminds them of their duties with respect to the next persons. But sometimes it is difficult to live in accordance with its values: when Christian is robbed on a cellphone, his reaction barely respects him …
Film (too) to evil
What is primarily on the pitch strike is that it is (indeed) a bad film that attacks the intellectual petty bourgeoisie, from which Ruben Ostlund himself comes. Reason? General hypocrisy that depicts the director, the people who give up on tolerance and share their luxurious apartments, where they only invite them.
Thus, the whole approach of the film is about the characters in this falsehood, placing them in situations where they will have to think about what they really are: holy Pharisees. It is hard to see that some viewers have received a bad message.
Exquisite or heavy?
Beyond the message, this is the way that Ostlund puts it, which is also a lot of divisions. The film is a sophisticated analysis of social hypocrisy (which we all train) or a stupid and despicable comedy that is confident in Shakespeare?
It has to be said that some scenes are too far away until it is square in the Burus, and we imagine a smile in Ostlundi when he is making films to his actors who struggle with mediocre situations. But are they unrealistic?
Excellent movie?
Once you have to choose a camp, let’s think that one of those who think the pitch is a really wonderful movie. Simply because Ostlund is a wonderful director. By the extreme of everything, beyond the reasons behind the scenes (an average of 10 minutes, which is huge), as if all these moments became within the film: a real movie theater kaleidoscope.
It is as if the film at the museum itself becomes a museum, and on each scene, the work of itself, which is moving, makes people laugh, even worried. A cinema treasure chest that did not steal its golden palm! This is said!
The pitch, Snow therapy Sister Filter Ruben Ostlund is available on Netflix.
