A group of Black teenagers accuses three local boys – two white and one of Asian descent – of owning a stolen mobile phone belonging to them. A psychological game starts, preying on the fears and stereotypes of their victims that are led on a march through some of Gothenburg’s more unfamiliar areas.
Ruben Östlund’s third feature lays the groundwork for what was to become his signature touch: impeccable, eloquent visual storytelling and sagacious observation of social power dynamics. This dissection of Swedish race tensions and white privilege is incisive, fiercely shrewd cinema.
