TRIANGLE OF SADNESS
O.V. in English subtitled in Spanish
Ruben Östlund (Force majeure, Golden Giraldillo 2014, The Square) has bagged his second Palme d'Or at Cannes with this satire that leaves no stone unturned. A story of extreme moral discomfort (and hilarious) that takes place on a luxury yacht full of models and influencers, people literally rotten with money exercising their despotism over the crew. The captain (Woody Harrelson) is the only one who won't give in, and will end up watching the tables of power turn when a deadly storm (in the face of which neither wealth nor beauty is worth anything) arises.
