Synopsis

It’s almost summer in Sweden, minor misbehaviour abounds. Leffe likes to play pranks when he’s drinking. Meanwhile, a righteous school teacher doesn’t know where to draw the line. Then there are two teenage girls who like to party, but one night in a park, one of them is found passed out drunk.

Our take

This blistering, award-winning second feature from Ruben Östlund would prove his breakthrough. Made up of a series of simmering, fixed-camera vignettes that crackle with self-contained moral dilemmas, Involuntary acutely exposes the fault lines in Swedish society’s carefully cultivated self-image.
