the Square (2017)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Swedish museum curator gets his wallet stolen; hijinx ensue.


Same director of the spectacularly uncomfortable Force Majuere http://archives.thecranepool.net/22300/f11_t22312.shtml and some of the same themes, i.e.: a guy who thinks he has his shit together, or pretends to, is shown otherwise.

This one added in some very funny scenes, and some stupid and unexplained ones, all wrapped in satirizing the modern art world. Visually great and sneaky.

Liked it til it got stuck on the story of the kid and the ensuing freakout. 2.5.

yes I was hoping for a tidier story
