Hilarious Trailer For ‘The Square’ Will Have You Laughing Out Loud At Modern Art
Modern art might sometimes leave you bewildered, perplexed, and downright baffled. Say, “If you place an object in a museum, for instance if we took your bag, and placed it here, would that make it, art?”
From Ruben Östlund, the Swedish director behind Force Majeure, comes satirical drama The Square—winner of Palme d’Or, the highest prize awarded at Cannes Film Festival 2017. The storyline summary describes:
“Christian is the respected curator of a contemporary art museum, a divorced but devoted father of two who drives an electric car and supports good causes. His next show is ‘The Square’, an installation which invites passersby to altruism, reminding them of their role as responsible fellow human beings. But sometimes, it is difficult to live up to your own ideals: Christian’s foolish response to the theft of his phone drags him into shameful situations. Meanwhile, the museum’s PR agency has created an unexpected campaign for ‘The Square’. The response is overblown and sends Christian, as well as the museum, into an existential crisis.”
The Square’s cast includes Claes Bang, Elisabeth Moss, Dominic West, and Terry Notary. Watch its humorous trailer below. It opens in cinemas on 27 October.
