Östlund plans on including a scene where a young boy asks to borrow his older brother’s iPad and is told he has to wait five minutes. “And then I want to challenge the audience,” Ostlund teases. “You stay with the kid in real time. And he’s looking in the catalog, putting it back and the restlessness is coming. So he asks his mother, ‘How much do we have left?’ And she says, ‘Well, now it’s four minutes and 45 seconds, you have to calm down.’”
Östlund jokes that his goal is to create the biggest walkout in the history of Cannes. “And I think it’s going to be more provocative than any violent, any disturbing content,” he says. “Because to be left alone with your thoughts and challenging the audience to do the same thing, then it’s going to be very interesting.”
Kind of spoilers

This isnt a new concept and it wont cause a walkout. This guy sucks so much

Im usually against saying this but man this lowkey sound pretentious af
He really thinks people can’t tolerate a 5 min mundane scene
man would have a heart attack at the sight of a bela tarr film
I like the direction/idea of what he’s trying to do, it makes sense with the plot. I just don’t get his commentary on “ouuuu this is gonna be the biggest walk out” “ouuuuu now you’re stuck wit your thoughts, get it????”
Just make your film how you see fit and let it talk for you. You shouldn’t be explaining the themes and plot devices before the film has even came out.

anyone who thinks not looking at a device for 5 minutes is some profound spiral has some inner work to do

From the perspective of a kid, I get it being they are more impatient at a younger age. But you shouldn’t be having to convince us of “ahhhh see what I’m doing??? Genius huh???”
If you want us to be in the head space of your character just make the film and see if it works or not. Trying to convince us before hand isn’t gonna work.
Lmao on my flight back from my trip the entertainment system actually ended up going down……so I just slept

yeah all jokes aside, this is an issue with some of these mainstream modern auteurs, theyre so focused on what their film is going to do to the audience or how its going to perform. to the point where they are manufacturing moments with each film having to go further and further with "affecting the audience" or whatever. theyre so insecure that they don't even make movies as self expression anymore and take on this role of the collective consciousness but its so self serving and misguided that they end up being more out of touch than anything else

I think that insecurity heightens when you’re telling people “hey, look look this is what I’m doing!!!”
There’s so many fans on Reddit and YouTube who do full study breakdowns of films. Let them explain. Hell, if you can’t help it and wanna explain something someone missed make a fake Reddit account and pose as a fan. But never never never explain s*** as an artist. I believe that deeply for filmmakers and music artist. I remember so many interviews trying to get Kendrick to explain “DAMN” and he would always be like “yall know I can’t answer that”
If your art does HIT, part of the fun is allowing your fans to express there interpretation. We don’t wanna be told “Hey, this is how you should be feeling about this”

The absolute privilege of thinking a long flight without entertainment is a novel concept

I think that's just him settling in the role of cinema provocateur since he already made niggas sit through 15 mins of diarrhea the last time around lmao.
