THE SQUARE

Director: Ruben Östlund Cast: Claes Bang, Dominic West and Elizabeth Moss

The director behind 2014’s thought-provoking Force Majeure film is back with a vengeance with this year’s Cannes Palme d’Or winner The Square. This Swedish/German/French/Danish coproduction focuses on a curator of contemporary art who suffers an existential crisis after losing his phone and being subjected to a wacky PR campaign. We can all relate to that, right? This one asks the big questions with droll and often pointed humour.

First showing: Sept. 29, 9 p.m., The Centre for the Performing Arts
