Triangle of Sadness

Director: Ruben Östlund, Cast: Thobias Thorwid, Harris Dickinson, Woody Harrelson, Winner Palme d’Or Cannes Film Festival, R

In Ruben Östlund’s wickedly funny Palme d’Or winner, social hierarchy is turned upside down, revealing the tawdry relationship between power and beauty. Celebrity model couple, Carl and Yaya, are invited on a luxury cruise for the uber-rich, helmed by an unhinged boat captain. What first appeared instagrammable ends catastrophically, leaving the survivors stranded on a desert island and fighting for survival. “Ruben Östlund’s takedown of the super-rich that plays like Buñuel by way of the Farrelly brothers.” —Phillip De Semlyen, Time Out
