Triangle of Sadness 4K UHD bluray mediabook

With carefully staged Instagram photos, models Carl and Yaya take their followers on a journey through their perfect (fashion) world – around the clock. When the young couple accepts an invitation to a luxury cruise, they meet Russian oligarchs, Scandinavian IT billionaires, British arms dealers, bored wives, and a captain who quotes Marx while drunk on alcohol. At first, the trip is totally selfie-friendly, with sunbathing, small talk, and champagne breakfasts. But during the captain's dinner, a storm breaks out and the couple ends up on a desert island with a group of billionaires and a stowaway from the ship. Suddenly, the hierarchy is turned upside down, as the steward is the only one who can make a fire and fish.

TRIANGLE OF SADNESS is one of the most exciting film events of the year coming to theaters. Director Ruben Östlund once again won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in May—five years after the success of THE SQUARE—for his sharp social commentary. This time, the Swede takes a bitterly humorous look at a world divided between rich and poor, depicting a microcosm of models, influencers, millionaires, servants, and workers. But the shiny facade is beginning to crack. Ruben Östlund skilfully blends drama, satire and slapstick into a never-before-seen, explosive mixture, definitively cementing his status as one of the most important filmmakers of our time. No other director currently holds up such an entertainingly provocative mirror to society. The arthouse audience's hit of 2022!
