How much Swedish and Danish is used in The Square?
I'm considering to go watch The Square with Danish subs, although I don't know Danish.
Is the film mostly in English?
Is the film comprehensible assuming I wouldn't understand the Swedish/Danish dialog?
Best Answer
The movie has been nominated to an academy award in the Best Foreign Language Film category. The rules about foreign language film (rule 13) states
A. DEFINITION
A foreign language film is defined as a feature-length motion picture (defined as over 40 minutes) produced outside the United States of America with a predominantly non-English dialogue track. Animated and documentary feature films are permitted.
So most of the movie is not in English. I haven't seen it, so I don't know if it's comprehensible without the Danish/Swedish parts.

So, whoever you can identify as a Swede would most certainly be speaking Swedish, and all the Danes would most likely be speaking Danish. Most Swedes have a bit of a hard time understanding Danish, though, so don't be surprised if they start speaking English all of a sudden.What language are they speaking in the bridge?

In the Nordics there are seven main languages; six are North Germanic, a.k.a. Nordic (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Faroese, and Greenlandic), and one is classified as a Uralic language (Finnish).Swedish vs Norwegian vs Danish (How Similar Are They?)
