Ruben Ostlund’s Banner Produces Denis Lavant Movie ‘Redoubt’ by Artist-Turned-Director John Skoog (EXCLUSIVE)
'Holy Motors' actor Denis Lavant headlines 'Redoubt,' the feature debut of artist-turned-director John Skoog, produced by Ruben Ostlund's banner.
Currently in post, the black-and-white film is produced by Plattform Produktion, the Goteborg-based banner run by two-time Palme d’Or winning director Ruben Ostlund(“Triangle of Sadness”) and Erik Hemmendorff. “This man was so kind to children and animals, and could sing, but he was consumed by this fear of doom and paranoia.” While researching for the movie, Skoog said he also learned that Persson had also been bullied by villagers, and ended up clashing with the local community. One of Scandinavia’s best known producers, Hemmendorff’s credits include Ostlund’s movies, taking in his Palme d’Or winning “The Square” and “Triangle of Sadness,” as well as Mia Hansen-Love’s “Bergman Island” and Ninja Thyberg’s Sundance film “Pleasure.”
