Brief talk

At the beginning, as soon as "Ave Maria" by Chargounau and Yo-Yo Ma played, I knew that this film was not simple, and this song also appeared constantly when the plot turned.

Gradually laying out, unfolding many oppositions, classical and modern, disco and Bach's average law, upper middle and lower, weak and indifferent, all coexist in a very strange way and transform into each other.

Just like its symbol throughout the whole book - the square, this is a movie that pierces the very distorted square of people's hearts, and is a whole mockery of human nature.

Of course, the meaning of this movie is actually very rich, and the above is just a simple personal feeling. I like watching such movies late at night.

PS: It also reflects how the Nordic countries view the topics of equality, freedom and public space.
