Pondering everything from free expression and sexual harassment to bourgeois guilt and migrant rage, this superbly acted saga may not always hit the target. But it unerringly leaves its mark.
Gloriously cynical and delightfully slapstick – take from it what you will.
In spite of its lengthy running time and the darkness of its themes, the film is frequently very funny.
Ruben Ostlund’s modern art satire The Square picks at some pretty low-hanging fruit, but there’s fun to be had in the way it interrogates the moral commitment of artists and institutions intent on making great social claims for their work.
A bracingly original satire that highlights the growing divide between rich and poor and the failings of modern man.
A satire on the contemporary art world sits edgily alongside a skewering of male privilege and middle-class altruism in Ruben Östlund’s surreal Palme d’Or winner.
