Film
Triangle of Sadness (15)
Dir. Ruben Östlund, Sweden/Germany/France, 2022, 150 mins. Cast. Harris Dickinson, Charlbi Dean, Dolly De Leon, Woody Harrelson, Zlatko Burić.
Riotously funny with a barbed wire-sharp wit, Triangle of Sadness garnered Östlund his second Cannes Palme d’Or award. Couple Carl and Yaya are fashion models and influencers whose romantic relationship is increasingly soured by money. Offered free places on a luxury cruise, they find themselves sharing a superyacht with a Russian oligarch and some genteel arms dealers, while a deeply cynical Marxist alcoholic captains an increasingly chaotic ship. What begins as a great upstairs/downstairs set-up quickly turns entirely upside-down. After taking on the art world in The Square, Östlund turns to his attentions to high fashion and the uber-rich, channelling a deep vein of acerbic black comedy. Shifting audaciously from bone-dry satire to gross-out maximalist farce this is a twisted tour-de-force which asserts that power corrupts. Absolutely.
TRIANGLE OF SADNESS contains a sequence of flashing lights which might affect customers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
