Triangle of Sadness [Blu-ray]
INTERVIEWER: Directors often talk about having ‘good’ or ‘bad’ luck when shooting – do you feel that you were blessed with TRIANGLE OF SADNESS?
RUBEN: We shot the exteriors on Christina O, the old Onassis yacht, which turned out to add quite a fun meta layer when we blew her up. That yacht is such a strong symbol of the elite of the 60s and 70s, and myriad famous, powerful men like Churchill have spent a lot of time on her.

I expected a bit different film from the beginning as I didn’t know what it’s about.
It surprised me and turned in a bit deeper film with lots of scenes on a cruising ship with so many silly and funny moments! 😉 The end is open, which a bit annoying, but I do understand that there could be a few scenarios; so, they just left it. Loved every moment and believe the film deserves 5 stars!
While not particularly ‘deep’, the production quality and acting, narrative drive and (occasionally misplaced) layer of references, and (albeit somewhat shallow) satire worked for me. I think some of the negative reviews prescribed what the elements of the film in terms of what they ‘should’ have been, rather than taking them in the context of the coherence of the film as it is. Whatever else a film is it firstly has to be enjoyable, preferably at many levels, and I enjoyed it while others didn’t. The film is flawed of course. What film isn’t? The film creators here were ambitious and succeeded in producing a praiseworthy work that I found satisfying in the interaction between it and me.
A bit slow to start you wonder when they’ll get on the boat. But an interesting take on lifestyles and motivations from people of different backgrounds. If you want to watch something that leaves you pondering, this is a good bet. Really sad to read about the main actress- she was a real rising star.
I enjoyed the movie from the first scene to the last. I would have rated it five-stars but the ending let it down.
The film is mostly set on a luxury cruise liner and explores the unequal relationship between crew and guests but when the ship sinks, suddenly the tables are turned!
Very dark and serious at times, and absolutely hilarious at others. Packed to the rafters with metaphors – social dynamics, rich v poor, how power controls and corrupts. There are loads of wee devices designed to unsettle the audience in the first part of the film. I kept thinking, “that’s annoying me,” and I wondered if the film was for me at all. Boy does it blossom. Loved the yacht scenes!
A very strong 8/10 from me.
This comes at life from a strange angle but has much to say about the human condition. It is both shockingly savage and very funny. I enjoyed it and got to care about some of the characters but I’m not sure if I’d ever want to see it again.
My feeling is that the film, ultimately, is saying “we’re all as bad as each other”, regardless of our social framework and position. It’s an appropriately self indulgent mirroring that the film meanders through popular cinematic tropes (art-house, comedy, survivalist, horror even) none of which move the story forward in any significant way for the better or worse. It is cohesive ride, and I really enjoyed it.
