Ruben Ostlund received the Stella Della Mole award at the National Cinema Museum in Turin and took for the first time outside Scandinavia, the installation The Square that inspired and preceded the making of the winning film at Cannes. Angelo Acerbi met up with him to talk about this, sociology, the grotesque and the taste for knowing how to laugh at oneself. And also what his net film will be about.

Art serves to change thoughts and subtleties, it can be done

Ruben Ostlund has it clear in his mind what the role of art is. And he explains it to us by recounting the reactions to the installation The Square in Scandinavia, and also the moment when his country decided to switch to left-hand drive, as an example of how much mentality can be changed, with the birth of new thinking and a new attitude.

Sociology is an interest and a cue for his films

For Ostlund, sociological curiosity is a necessity and an ongoing cue for his films. He tells us how he uses it and also where the inspiration for his next film comes from: a sociological experiment that he will adapt for the screen. Hear how.
