The Square “How much inhumanity does it take before we access our humanity?” This is the tagline for a PR campaign aimed to promote an exhibit at an art museum in Stockholm, curated by Christian Juel Nielsen (Claes Bang). ‘The Square’ constantly begs this question from Christian’s perspective through the course of the film. When we first meet him, he’s dignified, calm and collected. A dramatic incident at the start of the film pushes him out of his comfort zone, and his manicured lifestyle begins to unwind. It’s near impossible to predict what will happen next, and yet it’s oddly mesmerising to witness Christian coming apart one crazy event after the next.
Director Ruben Östlund adopts an unusual style of filmmaking in ‘The Square’. There are shots where the camera lingers on, even if there are no characters in the frame. Sounds that aren’t exactly pleasing to the ear such as a crying baby throughout a scene, and others that typically would have been edited much shorter; all make the film an unnerving watch. Östlund immerses you into a unique world – one that is actually around us if we stopped to observe what’s under the surface, and beyond the sheen of our manufactured digital presence. In one memorable sequence, Terry Notary (otherwise known for his motion-capture work in ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ & ‘Avatar’) plays a performance artist, Oleg, who is unleashed in a room of posh attendees at the museum. The scene begins as being cautiously comical but soon descends into a terrifying scenario where the cast is unsure of how to react. On the other side of the screen, we’re captivated by this scenario as it illustrates the ‘bystander effect’ – a phenomenon we’ve all succumbed to, at some point in our lives.

In this manner, Östlund repeatedly picks apart our perception of class, race and self-righteousness. Along with Claes Bang, Elisabeth Moss, Dominic West and Terry Notary, he creates an uncomfortable experience on multiple levels, infused with dark comedy. Over the course of 2 hours 30 minutes, ‘The Square’ will either leave you wondering what you witnessed or question the principles you choose to live by. It’s disconcerting, and certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you’re up for cinema that isn’t run-of-the-mill, ‘The Square’ is undoubtedly out-of-the-box.
