The SquareSeptember 12, 2019

Christian is the respected curator of a contemporary art museum, a divorced but devoted father of two who drives an electric car and supports good causes. His next show is “The Square”, an installation which invites passersby to altruism, reminding them of their role as responsible fellow human beings. But disaster strikes when Christian’s phone is stolen, his new performance art piece turns dangerously awry, and his marketing campaign goes viral for all the wrong reasons. As Christian desperately tries to hold onto his own ego while his comfortable life spirals out of control, his good intentions are increasingly abandoned, with hilarious results. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, “The Square” is a merciless satire of modern art, hypocrisy, and fragile male ego.

The Square was broadcast on SBS ONE at Sunday 16 October 2022, 12:15. This episode was initially placed on Thursday 12 September 2019.
