How does art talk about art? Ruben Östlund plays around with surrealism, satire and physical comedy, following the moral and professional dilemmas of a museum director setting up a controversial new exhibit and triggering massive reactions. Palme d’Or in Cannes.
Synopsis
The intelligent and handsome curator of a contemporary art museum is a divorced father, drives an electric car and supports charitable organizations. The new exhibition he has curated is an installment that invites people to consider altruism and promotes responsibility towards our fellow human beings. Sometimes, though, it's hard to live up to your own ideals. Both him and the museum are facing existential crises.
