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.

5.0 out of 5 stars I soo much enjoyed watching
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!
It worked for me
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.
Good, thought-provoking film
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.
Quircky
This film is out the box. Started watching it and didn’t have any idea as to where it was going. But without spoiling it for you I’d say it gives a unique take on society. It is very real and humorous and will resonate with people from all walks of life, as it makes you look at society differently and ponder on what is really important. Great watch
4.0 out of 5 stars Very watchable
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!
Weird and wonderful
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.
4.0 out of 5 stars Unusual tragi-comedy
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.
A heavy handed satire of our absurdist social dynamics and systems with a cast of infuriating and plausible characters.
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.
A fashion model celebrity couple get invited on a cruise for the super rich. Winner of the Palme D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, this is a fun often hilarious satire on the 1 percent filthy rich with very good performances from Harris Dickenson, Charbli Dean and Woody Harrelson. Not very subtle but very enjoyable.
