Seriously Funny: A Good Laugh with Ruben I Berlinale Talents 2023

“All my films”, Ruben Östlund says, “are about people trying to avoid losing face”, and anyone familiar with his piercing oeuvre will know this to be true. Hot on the heels of his ruthlessly savage “Triangle of Sadness”, Ruben heads to Berlinale Talents with future fun in the works already: In a talk set to unspool as a stand-up encounter with the audience itself, the Swedish director will share all about his next film, and by “all” he means the whole plot as he’s imagined it so far. Because to understand how humour works for Ruben, it’s best to take his development process seriously: the inspiration he gains from sharing ideas freely with others at all points, his careful handling of actors, and last but certainly not least his strong relationship with the audience. It’s one thing in satire to poke fun at someone, quite another, as Östlund’s work unfailingly manages, to get people to laugh along with you.
