Plot Summary:
Ruben Östlund’s Triangle of Sadness is a sharp and darkly comedic satire that dissects class, privilege, and power dynamics in a modern capitalist society. The film follows Carl (Harris Dickinson) and Yaya (Charlbi Dean), a young, beautiful influencer couple whose relationship is as shallow as their Instagram feeds. They are invited on a luxury cruise for the ultra-wealthy, setting the stage for a biting critique of wealth and inequality.

Onboard the yacht, the eccentric and grotesque behavior of the passengers clashes with the sardonic, alcoholic captain (Woody Harrelson), whose Marxist ramblings foreshadow the chaos to come. When a storm and a series of unfortunate events leave the group stranded on a deserted island, the social hierarchy is upended. Suddenly, the ship’s toilet cleaner, Abigail (Dolly de Leon), emerges as the most capable person in the group, leading to a dramatic and often hilarious shift in power.

The film uses absurd humor and unsettling scenarios to explore themes of dependency, survival, and the fragility of societal norms. Östlund’s direction, paired with brilliant performances—especially from Dolly de Leon in her standout role—creates a thought-provoking and entertaining experience. The scenes range from cringe-worthy hilarity to shocking intensity, leaving the audience both laughing and reflecting on the absurdities of privilege.

Winner of the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Triangle of Sadness is a scathing and unforgettable satire that challenges viewers to question their place in the societal hierarchy.
