BIO

Swedish cinema's new golden boy, an auteurish filmmaker with a predilection for unveiling and poking into dysfunctionality and moral paradoxes, especially in Europe's privileged classes. Utilizing crisp, distinctive images shot by his cinematographer Fredrik Wenzel, Östlund ventures into less trodden areas and sheds light on rarely seen milieus on film, often with a bold, humorous focus on the less remarkable details in the midst of it all. He has established himself as one of the most exciting new voices in 21st century cinema.
