A send up of the contemporary art world, called 'The Square', has won the top prize at Cannes. In the scene above, diners are treated to a display by a performance artist called Oleg, who impersonates a gorrilla. Actually, I think Oleg's turn is quite good. If I saw that at the Turner Prize gala dinner, I'd be impressed.
