Overview
A celebrity model couple are invited on a luxury cruise for the uber-rich, helmed by an unhinged captain. What first appeared Instagrammable ends catastrophically, leaving the survivors stranded on a desert island and fighting for survival.
I love that in this day and age that movies can still take chances. I recently watched Tar, and while it wasn’t my favorite movie of the year I loved that it could stretch out and take its time to tell a story. Triangle of Sadness might be an even better example of a film being in no particular hurry to get somewhere. As a viewer of this film I continuously fascinated by what I was watching. In a way it reminded me of so many Korean films in that the pacing just felt so different than the vast majority of films.
I saw an interview with the director where he said that he is cruel to all of his characters. I think that is a big reason for a film like this to feel as rich as it does. The themes of class and beauty are right there in front of us, but at no point does the story tell the viewer what to think. The film asks a variety of questions and lets the viewer contemplate the answers. I very much enjoyed it and am still thinking about it days later.
