*****ÖSTLUND RETROSPECTIVE*****Last instalment in our retrospective of Östlund's works. His second feature film, De ofrivilliga (Involuntary), intertwines multiple stories exposing group dynamics and peer pressure. Possibly the rawest illustration of Östlund's approach to film-making, and a fascinating one too (though at times equally uncomfortable).
***
With wit dry as bone and satire that cuts down to it, Östlund builds a picture of morality in shades of grey. Although each of the stories is slight when considered on its own, the culmulative effect is surprisingly powerful, inviting us to consider those little things we do that see us acquiesce to a group dynamic but also challenging us to consider the ways in which we use that same tool to bend non-conformists to our own will.
