After Ruben \xd6stlund\u2019s memorable Force Majeure (2014), we were looking forward to his next film, The Square (2017). Especially after it won the Palme d\u2019Or at Cannes Film Festival.\n\nA satire about the art world seemed like a welcoming subject, but oh boy, the movie did not sit well with us. And we knew we had to talk about it. If for nothing else, just to get it out of our system. So abandon all hope, ye who enter here.\n\nWe discuss of course about what exactly went wrong here. About \xd6stlunds previous films and how he constructs his own cinematic reality. And how Paul Verhoeven would have made that Ape Scene better.\n\nSpoiler warnings: We talk openly about the plot of The Square.
