Wow. What did I just watch? Ruben Ostlund has created something very interesting, strange, poignant, and...depressing. Triangle of Sadness is a film about structures and dichotomies--beautiful vs. ugly, those who get vs. those who serve, capitalism vs. socialism, etc. It is also the truly sad story of how society and structures human beings have created imprison us all. I've seen the film compared to the masterpiece Parasite, which I think is very apt. The films share many of the same themes and plot devices. There are many other satires out there that critique the elite and wealthy in our world, but unlike most of them Triangle of Sadness offers no conclusions, no resolve. And the story takes so many turns so quickly...it's fascinating. This is a hilarious, disgusting, filthy, sad, intricate, wild film.
