Ruben Östlund (born 13 April 1974) is a Swedish filmmaker and screenwriter acclaimed for his sharp social satire, visual audacity, and unflinching critique of modern human behaviour. With films like Force Majeure, The Square, and Triangle of Sadness, Östlund has earned two Palme d'Or wins at the Cannes Film Festival, establishing himself as one of contemporary cinema’s most provocative and intellectually daring voices. His work blends discomfort and comedy with razor-sharp insight—exposing the fragility beneath societal norms with masterful control.

Östlund’s style is understated yet intentional—Scandinavian minimalism meets cerebral cool. His eyewear follows suit: clean, architectural frames with a utilitarian edge, often in matte black or deep neutrals. He gravitates toward rectangular or softly rounded silhouettes from brands like Tom Ford and Serengeti, favouring function with a quiet artistic touch. Whether leading press conferences in Cannes or composing shots behind the camera, his glasses frame a vision rooted in clarity, critique, and cinematic edge.
