Synopsis

A young boy sits on top of a roof twisting TV antennas. Two men try to convince another man to participate in a game of Russian roulette. Teenagers destroy all the bicycles they can find. Lonely, peculiar people live outside the norms in the fictitious Swedish town of Jöteborg.

Our take

Unlike his lavishly grotesque satires of the idle rich, Ruben Östlund’s untamed feature debut embraces a lo-fi aesthetic reminiscent of Harmony Korine’s early provocations. Starring an eccentric cast of non-actors, this wild urban adventure fights against the boredom of life with shocking antics.
