THE SQUARE Trailer Debut Here is the first THE SQUARE trailer! The film, written and directed by Ruben Östlund (Force Majeure), stars Claes Bang, Elisabeth Moss, and Dominic West. THE SQUARE will be released in theaters on October 27. Christian is the respected curator of a contemporary art museum, a divorced but devoted father of two who drives an electric car and supports good causes. His next show is “The Square”, an installation which invites passersby to altruism, reminding them of their role as responsible fellow human beings. But sometimes, it is difficult to live up to your own ideals: Christian’s foolish response to the theft of his phone drags him into shameful situations. Meanwhile, the museum’s PR agency has created an unexpected campaign for “The Square”. The response is overblown and sends Christian, as well as the museum, into an existential crisis.
