Described as either a tragic comedy or comic tragedy, Ruben Östlund’s second dramatic feature Involuntary reveals how the individual often bows to the will of the group. Ruben joins us to discuss the merits of the long take and why the digital era is the most exciting period for filmmakers not wishing to conform to the Hollywood cookie cutter form of filmmaking.
