\nRuben \u00d6stlund may not be competing at Cannes this year \u2014 the two-time Palme d\u2019Or winner (The Square<\/em>, Triangle of Sadness<\/em>) took his new, still-unfinished film, The Entertainment System Is Down<\/em> out of contention for the 2026 fest \u2014 but he still found time for a quick trip to the Croisette. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Swedish filmmaker told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> he is still deep in post-production for the film, and does not expect it be done before the end of the year. Kirsten Dunst, Daniel Br\u00fchl, and Keanu Reeves are among the starry cast in \u00d6stlund\u2019s new satire, set on a long-haul flight between England and Australia where the entertainment system fails and passengers are forced to face the existential horror of boredom. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u00d6stlund said he continues to tweak the movie, including adding a new sequence with Succession<\/em> star Nicholas Braun.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m going to Amsterdam. We\u2019re going to shoot a little additional scene that came up during the editing,\u201d he said. \u201cI got an idea during the editing that I think is really great so we\u2019re going to put that in.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u00d6stlund began principal photography on The Entertainment System is Down<\/em> in late January 2024, shooting a remarkable 75 days on a single studio set built around a real Boeing 747 acquired and outfitted specifically for the film. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe sheer volume of footage accumulated during that extended shoot has made for a lengthy editing process. \u201cI could just become completely mad and never stop editing the film,\u201d \u00d6stlund quipped, before quickly reassuring his fans that the film would not be too long in coming. \u201cI\u2019m actually starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe real reason for \u00d6stlund\u2019s visit to the Croisette, however, was not his own film but a new venture he hopes will change the way people discover cinema. Together with fellow Swedish filmmakers Felix Herngren, the director of The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared<\/em>, and Johan Kindblom, writer and creator of the acclaimed Swedish series Cleo<\/em>, \u00d6stlund has launched MyList \u2014 a film recommendation platform built on the simple but increasingly radical premise: That human taste beats algorithmic curation.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe site, which has just launched in Sweden , invites filmmakers, actors, writers, musicians, politicians and ordinary film lovers alike to compile personal lists of recommended films, organized by theme or category, with context and personal reflections. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u00d6stlund\u2019s has corralled his famous friends and collaborators to do lists. Dunst, Br\u00fchl and Reeves have all posted their top 5 MyList selections, as has Polish auteur Pawel Pawlikowski, currently in Cannes competition with his new film Fatherland<\/em>, and Palme d\u2019Or and Oscar winner Sean Baker (Anora<\/em>). Baker\u2019s list is not your typical top 5, but a selection of the films he believes best capture the experience of heroin addiction with a candid personal account of his own struggles with the drug.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe MyList founders say it was frustration with the dominant model of film discovery \u2014 whether driven by streaming algorithms or aggregated ratings scores \u2014 that drove them to launch their alternative site.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cToday you almost rate everything \u2014 you rate the beach, you rate streets, the restaurants, you rate your kids, your wife. It\u2019s not a good way of looking at life,\u201d said Herngren. \u201cWith this site, a recommendation becomes meaningful, personal. It becomes more than just: was it a four or a five or a three?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00d6stlund is also drawn to the platform\u2019s ability to bridge the gap between film industry insiders and the broader public. \u201cIt\u2019s interesting when you can mix professionals from the industry \u2014 actors, film critics \u2014 next to people working with something completely different,\u201d he said, noting that the site\u2019s ambition extends well beyond cinema enthusiasts. \u201cMyList has a little approach of trying to reach the ones who maybe haven\u2019t even considered themselves cinephiles.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the practical side, MyList will link each recommended title directly to available streaming options in the user\u2019s region \u2014 solving, as Herngren put it, the familiar frustration of receiving a recommendation and then having no idea where to actually watch it. The team also has plans to eventually incorporate links to theatrical screenings, though that functionality is not yet live. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe site is ad-supported and free to users, with a small referral fee paid by participating streaming services when users click through to their platforms \u2014 Netflix, notably, has not yet signed on. For now, MyList is available only in Sweden, but the founders say an English-language version of the site is imminent, with a broader European and ultimately global rollout to follow.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe internet has no borders,\u201d said Kindblom. \u201cIt will travel.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
