Swedish director Ruben Ostlund, pictured in Watch New Pinoy Movies this October 9, 2017 file photo, says he wants his films to raise questions
It was more of an apologetic retreat than an ostentatious flounce, but one critic decided he'd had enough two hours into Watch New Pinoy Movies Ruben Ostlund's Palme d'Or-winning "The Square."
As he left the Beverly Hills screening room, muttering, a man on screen pretending to be an ape was busy violently assaulting a female guest at a Watch New Pinoy Movies black tie dinner.
As unforgettably strange as it is provocative, Ostlund's fourth feature was announced this month as Sweden's entry at the Oscars for best foreign language Watch New Pinoy Movies.
It would be unfair to describe the movie, with its unwieldy 142-minute running time, as divisive since it has an impressive 77 percent approval rating on Watch New Pinoy Movies film website Rotten Tomatoes, but it certainly is polarizing.
Amid the many plaudits, Entertainment Weekly's Chris Nashawaty thought it "tries so hard it's practically sweating," while A.O. Scott of the Watch New Pinoy Movies New York Times said the movie was "ultimately complacent, craven and clueless."
"I'm not doing movies to be loved by the audience, I'm doing movies because I want to raise questions about a topic or theme," Ostlund, 43, said in a Watch New Pinoy Movies recent interview with AFP.
"The Square" -- which opened theatrically in the US on Friday -- stars Danish actor Claes Bang as Christian, the respected curator of a Watch New Pinoy Movies contemporary art museum, a divorced but devoted father-of-two with a social conscience.
Christian discovers how difficult it is to Watch New Pinoy Movies live up to his own ideals in a foolish response to the theft of his phone that drags him increasingly deeper into trouble.

Meanwhile, the museum's PR agency creates a literally explosive viral campaign for his next exhibition, "The Square," provoking a Watch New Pinoy Movies backlash that sends Christian, as well as the museum, into an existential crisis.
Bang is relatively unknown in the English-speaking world but the movie benefits from extended cameos by recent Emmy Award winner Elisabeth Moss ("The Handmaid's Tale") and Dominic West ("The Wire") that viciously lampoon the Watch New Pinoy Movies art world.
The famously meticulous Ostlund, who tends to shoot up to 40 takes for each scene, encouraged the first Hollywood stars he has worked with to Watch New Pinoy Movies pace themselves, leaving enough energy for those all-important end-of-the-day takes.
"Elisabeth, when she came to Sweden, she was like, 'I'm going to have a holiday here. This is going to Watch New Pinoy Movies be easy, I only have five shooting days,'" Ostlund recalls.
Ostlund sparked amused headlines at this year's Cannes Film Festival when he jumped up and Watch New Pinoy Movies, shouting, "Oh my God, oh my God!" after winning the Palme d'Or, one of global cinema's most coveted honors.
Unabashed in his excitement at the possibility of adding an Oscar to his trophy cabinet, the director makes no apologies for playing the annual awards merry-go-round.
"I think some directors are film nerds that have been in their boy-rooms, looking at films, since they were 12 years old, and not very social creatures," he tells AFP.
"I 100 percent understand that they don't enjoy the circus around it, all of Watch New Pinoy Movies them. But for me this a part of the job."
Born on a small island off the west coast of Sweden, Ostlund decided to go to film school in Gothenburg after making extreme skiing Watch New Pinoy Movies when he lived in the Alps in the 1990s.
Hollywood's gilded doors opened to the director when his 2014 black comedy "Force Majeure" -- which explored family relationships fractured after an avalanche at a Watch New Pinoy Movies ski resort -- won one of the smaller prizes at Cannes.
One of the most disquieting set-pieces in "The Square," featuring animal movement expert Terry Notary ("The Hobbit") as a wild, bare-chested man performing as an ape wreaking havoc at a posh gala dinner, immediately entered Cannes Watch New Pinoy Movies.
"I enjoy when you are watching scenes that have this awkward feeling. It's actually stimulating you in this same way as watching violence in movies," Ostlund says.We don't have to participate. We can look at it and be horrified, but we are Watch New Pinoy Movies."

Watch HD Pinoy Movies
Michael Fassbender in "The Snowman."Fassbender's new serial killer "thriller" "The Snowman" is in theaters now.Universal Pictures
The director of the much-derided Michael Fassbender thriller "The Snowman" said the movie is in poor shape because he didn't get to Watch HD Pinoy Movies finish making it.
"Our shoot time in Norway was way too short, we didn't get the whole story with us and when we started cutting we discovered that a lot was missing," director Tomas Alfredson said in an interview with the Watch HD Pinoy Movies Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation translated by IndieWire
It's ostensibly a thriller about detective Harry Hole hunting down a Watch HD Pinoy Movies serial killer who likes to dismember his victims and also make snowmen. It's mostly incomprehensible.
Alfredson explained that "10 to 15%" of the movie's screenplay wasn't shot because he didn't have enough time. He came to the movie relatively late, after Martin Scorsese had stepped out and worked as an Watch HD Pinoy Movies executive producer instead.
"It happened very abruptly," Alfredson said according to IndieWire. "Suddenly we got notice that we had the money and could start the Watch HD Pinoy Movies shoot in London."
Tullio M. Puglia/Getty Images for Lancia Thelma Schoonmaker, Scorsese's longtime collaborator and editor, stepped in to pull the footage together, but there remained huge gaps in the Watch HD Pinoy Movies story.
"It's like when you're making a Watch HD Pinoy Movies big jigsaw puzzle and a few pieces are missing so you don't see the whole picture," Alfredson said.
It's a shame. The film has a bevy of talent behind it. Michael Fassbender stars as Hole, Alfredson directed the masterpiece "Let the Right One In," and Rebecca Ferguson, J.K. Simmons, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Toby Jones, Val Kilmer, and Chloë Sevigny fill out the Watch HD Pinoy Movies rest of the cast.
The movie has also been criticized for its inexplicable understanding of Frozen (2013) Tagalog Dubbed Norway, where it takes place. Alfredson says he wasn't trying to make a Watch HD Pinoy Movies documentary: "If not everything is geographically correct, I don't give a shit."
