His last film, “Triangle of Sadness”, featured a 15-minute vomit scene and with his next, “The Entertainment System is Down”, two-time Palme d’Or winner Ruben Ostlund hopes to take his audiences on a ride through boredom. ”I want something to be connected with my brand and it is this: it’s going to be a risk if you go to the cinema,” the Swedish filmmaker, who was announced jury head for the Cannes Film Festival’s 76th edition on Tuesday, told PTI. In fact, he goes on to add somewhat controversially that he wants his new film, which features an eight-minute segment focused on a child getting bored, to cause the biggest walkout at Cannes. Cannes audiences are notorious for their extreme reaction to movies which can range from long standing ovations to straight walkouts.
