Magnolia Pictures has snagged the U.S. distribution rights for “The Square,” from “Force Majeure” writer and director Ruben Ostlund.
The film, which stars Elisabeth Moss, Dominic West and Claes Bang, is about a museum manager whose plans to promote an art exhibit focused on altruism spirals out of control and sparks a public uproar. Moss plays a journalist reporting onย the exhibit.
“The Square” is Ostlund’s followup to 2014’s “Force Majeure,” which was nominated for a Golden Globe. That filmย follows the marital tension of a Swedish couple trapped in an avalanche when their ski trip goes awry.
