    2.5 Even if you want to expose the greed, cowardice and selfishness under the delicate skin of the elite, the top 1% of the rich are not equal to the cultural elite, nor are they equal to the curators (I can still believe the curator), so the most effective The two criticisms were "VIP preview equals free meals" and large-scale performances at the banquet. Other than that, it's more like a series of bad decisions made by an incompetent curator, like an even worse film...

    #VIFF2017# This year’s Palme d’Or is an absurd self-mockery of Europe’s contemporary art and politically correct values. It is in line with the taste of the times, but most of the laughs are based on embarrassment. There are many plots worthy of scrutiny but very...

    About halfway through the look and feel is good, after that the narrative is a mess. In addition to the main line of finding wallets and mobile phones, almost all the narrative threads are messy, with a beginning and no end. When I think of one out, one out, one hammer in the east and one hammer in the west, what a black thing to say is unfavorable and condescending. Too European, too narcissistic, too self-conscious #eat jujube...

    A well-deserved Palme d'Or (120 hits per minute is not wrong at all)! #Director's progress is really amazing, who would have thought that a newcomer who was still filming "Tourist" the year before would become a master-level director this...

    Deliberately slowing down the rhythm, destroying the viewing experience with sluggish performances, empty dialogues, and discordant soundtracks, a disaster of audiovisual language. Deliberately piling up seemingly ingenious jokes, creating embarrassing points, anti-aesthetics, and hard to...

    This is a good film that promotes the idea of ​​equality. Without the enlightenment of the idea of ​​freedom and equality, it may be difficult to understand this...

    Although to sum up, the theme is the hypocrisy of the middle class. But there are too many aspects involved, helping and being helped, hurt and hurt, trust and distrust, the bystander effect, and even some mockery of contemporary art. So many and complex, the whole movie is like an awkward combination of paragraphs, some of which are wonderful and absurd, and some of which are a little...

    It is accurate enough to choose a contemporary art practitioner as the protagonist. According to my observation for many years, this group of people is very inconsistent inside and out. They can be regarded as the glue between the capitalists and the general public. In fact, the essence of this film is still about class...

    Great, and a stark analogy to what I'm going through today. How far can our compassion go and how powerful our self-justification is. From the male protagonist to Elisabeth Moss, from the freedom of speech/trigger warning controversy, from social networks to public opinion, from power play to bystander effect, from actors (the dinner guests are the unwitting Swedish upper class) characters to the audience, this film brings Everyone blacked...

    Very incompetent, originally a very ironic and fun subject was filmed as a modern art prejudice confession piled up by the director's subjective vision. If it is ugly, it is messy. The mental predicament of the middle class. Those embarrassing events made people restless in the dialogue that was out of life, and there was no impetus at all. The climax of the orangutan dinner was actually just a self-righteous...

    Curators inside and outside the square

    Coincidence or not, the film, like the four sides of a square, unfolds four issues of contemporary art institutions: funding and sponsorship; art and marketing; exhibitions and the public; social and public relations. Either side can extend to an infinitely broad problem.

The Square quotes

  • Christian: If you place an object in a museum does that make this object a piece of art?

  • Christian: OK if I ditch Comic Sans? Find something less childish?

    Michael: I didn't pick it. It's a 90s all-time favourite

    Christian: Now it won't look like a kid's birthday party invitation. After all, it is a threat.
