Triangle of Sadness

Found this gold. As i'm trying to detox myself all from the normal Netflix woke offerings and the crap mediocre Disney commercial capitulations, i need to express my gratefulness to Ruben Östlund.

 

A set of comedic and situational mishaps, we are guided by two young female and male model, slowly introduced unto the terms of responsibilities, being opportunistic, victimization in regards to gender on responsibilities to foot the bill.

Then we are off to a luxury yacht ride. Wide, painstakingly cleaned by workers of the third country, Nutella flown and dropped in by helicopter, the yacht is filled with socialites, capitalists, millionaires. Ruben, goes all out turned the pages of communism and capitalism, serving us a non-stop sharp, scathing critic on gender, social and class critique.

As the air filled with idealistic quotes of Lenin, we witness the rich tourists swinging and tumbling around, vomiting and shouting in terror as their yacht going through a turbulent violent waves. 

Not only that - the yacht soon attacked by pirates.

The ones who survived from this catastrophic disaster soon found themselves in an deserted island, require to change their roles, class standings, material wealth, sex for survival. Not knowing the deserted island is luxury resort.    

I haven't laughed so hard before, Ruben simply highlight the extreme situational comedy and irony.

The bloody film is so good right up to the end credits. No specific ending required as Ruben gave us ample room to sketch our own idealistic ending.


Received an eight-minute standing ovation and deservedly won the Palme d'Or.
