We’ve sung the praises of internationally renowned auteur Ruben Östlund plenty of times here at The Comedy Bureau. He is one a handful of directors that really extoll high artistry in the realm of comedy on film. The trio of works, Force Majeure, The Square, and Östlund’s latest, Triangle of Sadness simultaneously are some of the funniest movies we’ve seen on this side of the millennium and profoundly moving and prodding works of cultural dissection.

Of course, it just stands to reason that Ruben ought to get his own retrospective at American Cinematheque. On Sun. Jan. 8th, The Los Feliz 3 will host such a thing with Ruben Östlund himself, in person, introducing each screening. A run of four films will include Luis Buñuel’s Viridiana at 1PM, then The Square at 3:15PM, an American Cinematheque members only screening of Triangle of Sadness (w/Q&A featuring Dolly de Leon and Bill Hader) at 6:30PM, and Force Majeure at 10PM.

Tickets for non-members are $15 per screening, but it all seems worth it in our opinion (fingers crossed that you’ve finished all your holiday shopping already).
