'I wanted to create a rollercoaster ride for adults.' In the run-up to awards season, we sat down with Ruben Östlund to talk triangleofsad and find out what, if anything, grosses him out.
. More civilly, at its festival premiere a week earlier, the film yielded an enthusiastic eight-minute standing ovation from the same well-dressed elites Östlund so gleefully pillories in his work. His previous two releases,are also biting satires that turn a mirror onto the ruling class—a group with whom Östlund, admittedly, rubs elbows.
ÖSTLUND: I tried to make the arms dealers couple the most sympathetic characters that I’ve ever made. So I wanted them to be nice to all the crew and to the other passengers. And they’re still in love after all these years, but then you get to know that they’ve made all their money selling landmines. One thing that I’m dealing with is that people just assume that I’m portraying rich people as not so nice.
ÖSTLUND: I definitely trust my audience. I trust my audience more than I trust film critics because I feel that film critics so often want to be on top of the game, they want to be smarter than the film. But an audience just comes in and reacts and goes with the flow. I don’t look at them any differently than I look at myself. I hope that they enjoy the same kind of humor and content that I enjoy.
ÖSTLUND: When I was in film school in Gothenburg in Sweden, we had this small DV camera. It was not super expensive, and all the students that were in the grade above me were making movies where they were pointing the camera towards themselves. They were making movies about very personal issues. It was a trend in the late nineties and in the beginning of the millennium, and I was very influenced by that. The first two films that I made at that film school were two documentaries.
