Ruben Ostlund, two-time winner of the Cannes Film Festival‘s prime prize and final yr’s jury president, returned to the competition in southern France to launch his subsequent venture on Saturday, a darkish comedy about being caught on a airplane with no distractions.
“The Entertainment System Is Down” will star Kirsten Dunst and Daniel Bruehl as a pair whose relationship is put to the check on the 20-hour-plus airplane experience from London to Sydney.
“When the iPhones and iPads are shutting out, they are doomed to deal with their own boredom,” stated Ostlund.
“And I’m going to look on this aspect, like taking away entertainment on a societal level, what happens then?”
Examining what occurs when the rails come off of well mannered society has been a specific fixation of Ostlund’s movies, which embrace “Triangle of Sadness,” “Force Majeure” and “The Square.”
“I always want to work with people that, you know, push the boundaries of cinema,” Dunst stated on the launch. “That’s always my dream to be a part of working with those type of filmmakers.”
For filming, which is because of start quickly, the crew has purchased a Boeing 747, the place 99% of the movie might be set, stated Ostlund.
“We have an aeroplane, a whole aeroplane, to not only build a section, but that you can walk from the cockpit all the way to the back so you can do longer tracking shots and really create a feeling of being in the space,” stated the Swedish director.
