The same white-hot acuity is on display in "Keeping It Up With The Joneses," the brainchild of Ruben Ostlund. Ostlund's early short films, like one titled "Cock & Bull", mocks the clerical pretensions of the Church. Now he's turned his attention to the frame-to-frame worlds of art and celebrity. Ostlund's four actors - the artist, the critic, the curator and the gallery owner - play out their stock conflict: the royalist artist versus the royalist critic; the curatorial critic versus the curatorial curator; and artist versus gallery owner.
The premise is both absurd and absolutely riveting: the artist, while his lover ends their relationship, first offers the gallery owner a portrait of her. In a used comic book shop, the owner is too cheap to want the thing, but finds himself pinned to the wall of his loft. It turns out to be a disguised portrait of himself, right down to the shiny shoes, and he's thrilled with it. He and his girlfriend next buy a house in the Hamptons, and the next scene finds the artist's bachelor party in an episode of Ryan Murphy's "Glee." Finally the artist and his critics can dish the dirt on one another, all part of a dinner party hosted by one of the characters' rich yet mysterious friends. As the evening goes on, it grows increasingly tense. We witness their fights and fights, escalations and evasions, all built around the primary fear of exposing yourself to disappointment or rejection. And there's lots and lots of art talk.
Ostlund's neo-pop art starts with a funny premise. But it gets away from him when he begins to plow through the deeper structures of character. Ostlund knows how to create and stage comic scenes. But he hasn't found a way to cultivate a believable ensemble of characters. He ends up staging situations more absurd and less compelling than the ones he started with.
To begin with, Ostlund assumes we'll take the whole thing to be a joke. I thought it was meant to be a comic. And then it started to feel weird. So it continued on much longer than it needed to. It was autonomous, free-ranging, jumping around. I should have kept more control over it, but sometimes it just needs to be spontaneous. d2c66b5586
