Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Ruben Östlund’s philanthropic cringe comedy The Square was a surprise winner at the Cannes Film Festival this year, pulling down the coveted Palme D’Or from a packed crowd of festival favorites. Our own A.A. Dowd loved it, writing in his recent review that the film—about a museum curator whose pretensions of philanthropy and charity get smashed back into his face in increasingly absurd ways—is Östlund’s “magnum opus: a two-and-a-half-hour cringe comedy about the foibles of supposed high society, unfolding as a daisy chain of exquisitely awkward episodes.”
