Involuntary

2008, Movie, 1h 38min

Ruben Östlund explores uneasy social dynamics through five darkly humorous, profoundly unsettlingly vignettes in his multichapter sophomore feature, which he has called “a tragic comedy or a comic tragedy.” From a party host too proud to treat a nasty fireworks injury to a teacher placed in the middle of an uncomfortable situation when she observes a colleague mistreating a student, INVOLUNTARY is a fearless expression of Östlund’s recurring interest in issues of public morality, codes of masculinity, and the tension between the individual and the group.

Jag har aldrig känt så mycket obehag genom en hel film som när jag såg den här. Otroligt träffsäkra dialoger och scenarier. Ruben Östlund har verkligen en förmåga att få skådespelarna att agera naturligt vilket skapar de realistiska scenerna.

Ruben Östlunds omtalade film lever upp till förväntningarna som byggts upp ända sedan den gjorde succé i Cannes.
