In 2022, the Cannes Film Festival was designated to host the premiere of the new, long-awaited film by the award-winning Swedish director Ruben Östlund, which has decisively won him his second Golden Palm at this festival. Triangle of Sadness, in which the famous Woody Harrelson plays an enraged Marxist that happens to be the captain on a cruise for the ultra-rich, is in a sense a critique of today’s society in a typical Östlund manner.

The film is set in the world of high fashion, in which we meet a pair of models at a crossroads in their careers. They are invited to a luxury cruise as Instagram influencers, to add to the glamour of the unusual and, above all, filthy rich passengers gathered on the yacht. When the yacht sinks, they are stranded on a desert island with a group of billionaires and a cleaning lady. In a battle for survival on the island, old social hierarchies collapse and get overturned.
