Swedish film "Involuntary" took the top prize at the Brussels European Film Festival, which closed Sunday, July 6. Pic was selected from among 14 first and second features in competition.
Ruben Ostlund's tale of Swedes behaving badly had its world bow in Cannes last May. Benelux Film Distributors has snapped up local rights.
It sounds really interesting - read about it in a number of Swedish newspapers during the festival. It's interesting that it seems to hit at what is pretty much an unquestioned dogma in daily life and culture today, namely, that our choices are always our own, that we are totally free here and now (a myth that has no trouble coexisting with obvious bullyinbg and group pressure).
After the revolution everything will be different. Your password is 'Giliap'!
