The Square

The Square. Ruben Östlund, 2017.
😿
Edition screened: Curzon Artificial Eye Blu-ray, released 2018. English and Swedish language with English subtitles. Runtime approximately 151 minutes.

Summary: Contextualized depiction of a murdered cat.

Details: As a publicity stunt for a new art exhibition, a fictitious internet video is made in which a young girl and the kitten she holds are blown up. We only see the video once (1:40:12), it happens very fast, nothing graphic is depicted, and the whole point is that the event depicted in the video never happened.

I question if this counts as an image of animal violence. But, is there a depiction of a cat being killed? Yes.
