En Fitzcarraldo 67 comentamos  "El Triángulo de la Tristeza", la sátira social del director sueco Ruben Östlund con la que ganó su segunda Palma de Oro  y con la que acaba de obetner tres nominaciones a los Oscars; entre ellas mejor película y dirección. Una historia de la belleza como valor de mercado con un lenguaje grueso que cuestiona el capitalismo, la superficialidad, el patriarcado y la estupidez humana. Y “Obra Maestra”, la novela de Juan Tallón sobre la desaparición de la obra de 38 toneladas de acero de Richard Serra. Una exhaustiva investigación que abarca el arte público, los artistas y el poder a través de 70 personajes. Además, actualizamos la información de los Oscars  todo acompañado de nuestra habitual selección musical.

Fitzcarraldo #67: El triángulo de la tristeza - Ruben Ostlund

A critical favorite at this year's Cannes Film Festival, where it took the Jury Prize in Un Certain Regard, this wickedly funny and precisely observed psychodrama tells the story of a model Swedish family-handsome businessman Tomas, his willowy wife Ebba and their two blond children - on a skiing holiday in the French Alps. The sun is shining and the slopes are spectacular but, during a lunch at a mountainside restaurant, an avalanche suddenly bears down on the happy diners. With people fleeing in all directions and his wife and children in a state of panic, Tomas makes a decision that will shake his marriage to its core and leave him struggling to reclaim his role as family patriarch. Director / Writer Ruben Ostlund joins us to talk about the exploration of gender roles, cultural perceptions and the idea of every man for himself.

Force Majeure / Film School interview with Director / Writer Ruben Ostlund

Ruben directed films on skiing in the late 1990s, some of them now world-famous. After a documentary work in 2000 he made his award-winning feature debut, The Guitar Mongoloid, in 2004.  Ruben's feature film Involuntary was selected for Cannes 2008 and has since been in major festivals worldwide and Sweden´s nominee for Best Foreign Language Oscar that year.  Involuntary is a series of stories exploring different perspectives on the power of a group over the individual. Ruben’s short film Incident by a Bank won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. His next feature, Play, premiered in Cannes 2011. Incident by a Bank is about an attempted bank robbery and follows the thought process of two confused witnesses, the filmographer and the producer. Play is an astute observation based on real cases of bullying. In central Gothenburg, Sweden, a group of boys, aged 12-14, robbed other children on about 40 occasions between 2006 and 2008, using an elaborate scheme called the "little brother number" or "brother trick", involving advanced role-play and gang rhetoric rather than physical violence.
