Involuntary

(2008)Directed by Ruben Östlund98 minComedy, Drama

Five stories run side by side, and in each one a person is caught between speaking up and keeping quiet, with no obvious way to know which will cost more. Ruben Östlund (Villmar Björkman, Linnea Cart-Lamy) holds each scene in a single unbroken take, the longest lasting seven minutes. Every group in the film is tested by what one person does, or fails to do, in front of the others.
