1 – A fierce satire on the world of fashion

To carry this black comedy, Ruben Östlund surrounded himself with Harris Dickinson, Charlbi Dean, Woody Harrelson and Dolly De Leon.
3 – A virtuoso staging
The movie Without filter will not leave you unscathed. Among the most remarkable scenes, that of the gala dinner which takes place on the cruise ship and during a storm. An anthology scene that you won't soon forget!
