Ruben Ostlund, the Swedish director behind two Palme d’Or winners, continues to be one of the most closely watched filmmakers in European cinema as he develops his next feature.
Ostlund won the top prize at Cannes for The Square and again for Triangle of Sadness, a rare back to back feat that cemented his standing as a leading satirist of contemporary manners and class.
His films are known for long, uncomfortable set pieces that pick apart social behaviour, an approach that has drawn both awards and debate.
The director remains a central figure in a Swedish film scene that has increasingly found an audience on the festival circuit and beyond.
